À propos de cet audio
Ce que les critiques en disent
"This is a wonderfully rich, warm, and affecting book." ( Library Journal)
"It's deceptively simple: two bright young couples meet during the Depression and form an instant and lifelong friendship. "How do you make a book that anyone will read out of lives as quiet as these?" Larry Morgan, a successful novelist and the narrator of the story, poses that question many years after he and his wife, Sally, have befriended the vibrant, wealthy, and often troubled Sid and Charity Lang. "Where is the high life, the conspicuous waste, the violence, the kinky sex, the death wish?" It's not here. What is here is just as fascinating, just as compelling, as touching, and as tragic." (Amazon.com review)

It was during a reading of McCarthy’s ‘Suttree’ I found myself wondering, who is this narrator….what a wizard of tone and inflection, and so searched audible for any books he performed.
What a vein of gold I discovered with that strike.
It turns out as much as he is the best narrator I’ve ever heard (notwithstanding Andy Serkis who is perhaps more of an Audio dramatist?) Poe’s greatest to gift to my audio litterary experience is the curation of the titles he chooses to work on.
He reads from and with the raw, gritty, the sincere and the cultured voice of America. Not the political but the continental, the America belonging to both North and South.
Crossing To Safety was the 7th book i downloaded from that list and while I’m loath to pick favourites, I will say it is as beautiful and poignant as any story has any right to be.
I wish all of my mother’s mother’s family would read it for the echoes of my stern, loving, authoritarian Granny and her kin.
What a vein of gold I discovered with that strike.

Great writing, pointless plot
