A talented ensemble of narrators brings to life this funny, complicated, and engaging listen.
Compassionate and independent, Eugenia, voiced by Petrea Burchard, is a lifelong resident of Las Vegas, a successful real estate agent, and the unofficial mayor of her upscale community, Alluvian. Impulsive and charismatic Kurt, voiced by Brian Hutchison, returns to confess his love for Eugenia. The two have been connected since childhood but the timing has never worked. Now, with drama in the community and the return of their adult children causing chaos, Eugenia must determine whether they can finally make it work. In a story told from multiple perspectives and in multiple timelines, the cast of narrators creates authentic characters who are both flawed and entertaining and make the story easy to follow to an unforgettable ending.

In this sequel to Terms of Endearment, Larry McMurtry brings back Aurora Greenway, who is now dealing with her various lovers and friends plus three grown grandchildren with a variety of problems. He presents a tale of growing up and growing old which is bittersweet and funny. Narrator Ivey uses a slight east Texas accent which authenticates the setting of the story. Each character's voice has a slightly different inflection to differentiate it. It all works together well. As you listen, you feel as if you might actually be in Houston sharing the lives of these resilient and refreshing people.

To Fred Fairly, a Cambridge Fellow, truth is everything. What then is the truth about the woman he finds beside him when he awakens? English conventions and mores of 1912 Cambridge are central to this period piece. Callow's wonderful voice and interpretation make accents, personalities and gender come alive, and help make sense of the frequent time and character shifts. His delivery enhances a most clever "choose your own ending."
