FIRST COMES LOVE

Narrators Catherine Taber and Emily Foster give a compelling performance as two sisters struggle to move through a family tragedy that has impacted their lives and their fragile relationship with each other. Taber’s high pitch and energetic voice define 37-year-old independent and headstrong Josie Garland, whose sweet tones and beauty make her a popular first-grade teacher but don’t help her in her relationship with her sister, Meredith, portrayed by Foster. Foster’s sultry, resonant voice establishes her role as the older, stable, and introverted sister, who is also navigating her ideas about love, marriage, and family. Foster’s and Taber’s voices bring out the sisters’ dynamic interplay as family secrets surface, creating a stirring listening experience. M.F.
