Just had to share the good news that arrived in my inbox today - my first Earphones Award for an audio book!
PAVILION OF WOMEN
by Pearl S. Buck
Read by Adam Verner
Buck’s epic recounts women’s plight in late 1930s China, rapidly changing under Western influence and threats from native communists and Japanese invaders. On her 40th birthday, Madam Wu, the matriarch of a wealthy, tradition-bound Chinese family, having decided to retire from her bedroom duties, buys her husband a concubine and sets out to divest herself of all the familial responsibilities that have been consuming her life. Her quest to live for herself is aided and complicated by her youngest son’s tutor, Brother Andre, a progressive Western priest. Narrating simply in gentle, dignified, and understated tones, Adam Verner gives this masterful book the perfect touch. On the surface, his delivery is plain, devoid of flourishes, while worlds of underlying meaning emerge through subtle means. Y.R.

Yes indeed Diane - way back when I first joined the board I wasn't quite thinking straight and didn't use my name. Now it doesn't look like I can change it....maybe if I ask DB really, really nicely
