Cunningham’s skilled storytelling, complemented by Moore’s exceptional narration, transforms this work into a deeply emotional exploration of the complexities within family dynamics. A must-listen that will resonate with audiences who have their own memories of the pandemic era.
While listeners will miss out on Japanese artist Yuko Shimizu's gorgeously detailed black-and-white illustrations, they'll hear original music by actor/songwriter Billy Hough, who alternates narrating the stories with Lili Taylor; Taylor presents the more nuanced performance. Audiences in search of alternate tales à la Angela Carter and Gregory Maguire should listen in! ["A treat for adult readers": LJ 10/15/15 review of the Farrar hc.]
Cunningham's sardonic prose can condense the story of a marriage, for instance, into a few powerful pages, reflecting on loss, commitment, separation, and the changing nature of love over time. A treat for adult readers. [See Prepub Alert, 5/17/15.]
In concise yet descriptive language, Cunningham weaves the secret of transcendence through the mundane occurrences of everyday life. Those who enjoyed his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hours will be pleased to see similar themes emerging in his newest novel. [See Prepub Alert, 11/11/13.]
