Listeners will be invested in Adam and Jules’ lives.
Narrators Rory Kinnear and Sally Phillips take listeners through a couple’s journey to finding themselves, both as individuals and as a couple. After nearly 25 years of marriage and raising their two kids, British couple Adam and Jules have lost their spark. After Adam uncovers mixtapes from the earlier days of their relationship, he and Jules discover that listening to the tapes literally transports the couple back to the mid-1990s. Traveling between past and present has unexpected, and possibly unwanted, repercussions. Kinnear and Phillips both give expressive performances, drawing listeners into the characters’ experiences.

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."
