A new audio version of the classic novel by Thornton Wilder is good news. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Thom Rivera’s narration of this brief but engaging audiobook. The story is set in the eighteenth century in colonial Peru at the moment one of the astounding rope bridges that crisscrossed the Andean gorges of the Inca Empire collapses. The story examines the lives of the five people who die together that day, uncovering layer after layer of relationships and purpose. Published by Harper Audio.
