À propos de cet audio
She is not prepared to be Linda, but Linda will have to do...not the name she would have given herself; that name would have been Simone. So begins Canaries. Thirty-five-year-old Linda is in the midst of a midlife crisis: a marriage disappearing, and a voice lost.
Through a series of adventures, sexual and otherwise, from Death Valley to the Oscars, she realizes being voiceless has benefits she hadn't imagined. Sly irony, compassionate details, and a dash of magical realism create a classic tale proving that finding oneself, and one's voice, can be much more or much less than knowing one's correct name.

"In her clever and touching novel, Canaries, Dyanne Asimow has created a witty song about voice; how we lose ours, and how we find it. Asimow's own voice is rich with humor, intelligence and charm. Comic and bracing, Canariesis a joy to read." (Cathleen Schine, best-selling author, The Love Letter, The Grammarians)
"Canaries is a gorgeously written and compulsively readable tale about finding one's voice in a both literal and metaphysical sense. Dyanne Asimow's observations about marriage, sex and self-identity are vividly original." (Lindsay Marcott, best-selling author, Mrs. Rochester's Ghost)
"I devoured Canaries! The humor, the light touch, the twists and turns of the plot and especially Linda/Simone's voice coming through the pages. Truly, a delight. So much fun, with heart and poignancy beneath the fun." (Bernadette Murphy, best-selling author, Zen and the Art of Knitting)
