Yndis gives a show-stopping performance of this thrilling mystery.
Nina Yndis deftly narrates this translation of a Dutch novel set in 1980s Paris and the Netherlands, and in 2015 in Paris. It starts with the strange story of the Lambert family and their au pair, Eloise, and sets the stage for Marie’s story several years later as an au pair for the same family. Marie, an art student, is anxious to escape the Netherlands and her art school, mostly due to her influential teacher, Flo. But pasts are not always easy to leave behind, and some questions demand answers. The story is told from alternating points of view, and Yndis inhabits the characters seamlessly. Her flawless French accent immerses the listener.

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."
