NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON

In this story of self-discovery, listeners follow the journey of the main character, Raimund Gregorius, who is tipped into a midlife crisis after he discovers the work of poet and doctor Amadeu de Prado as a result of a chance meeting with a beautiful Portuguese woman. This is a highly descriptive story, and narrator David Colacci adopts a perfect reading style. His low-key delivery allows the carefully composed words to shine while keeping the listener engaged during the descriptive passages. His nuanced characterizations also support this lengthy and sometimes challenging work. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
