À propos de cet audio

In a moment of self-absorption, Clara Purdy's life takes a sharp left turn when she crashes into a beat-up car carrying an itinerant family of six. The Gage family had been travelling to a new life in Fort McMurray, but bruises on the mother, Lorraine, prove to be late-stage cancer rather than remnants of the accident. Recognizing their need as her responsibility, Clara tries to do the right thing and moves the children, husband, and horrible grandmother into her own house--then has to cope with the consequences of practical goodness.

What, exactly, does it mean to be good? When is sacrifice merely selfishness? What do we owe in this life and what do we deserve? Marina Endicott looks at life and death through the compassionate lens of a born novelist: being good, being at fault, and finding some balance on the precipice.

I often prefer professional talent to to be the voices of audio books, but in this case I did enjoy the author taking the role, and felt it added depth to the emotional side of the characters.

I so enjoy the layers and depths of Marina Endicott’s writing. Extra special to listen while the author reads her own beautifully wrought story.

Always exquisite
