Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss an audiobook where the brilliance of the novel is enhanced by the excellence of the performers. Daniel Mason’s novel is expansive, employing a wide array of audiobook narrators. A secluded spot in Massachusetts becomes home to many over a four-hundred-year span. With each tale of shifting inhabitants, the listener is treated to a performance by one of several gifted narrators. The storytelling itself is original, and each narrator is perfectly cast for their section. History blends seamlessly with the supernatural and natural worlds, and the performances are consistently powerful to bridge the spaces between.
