THE UNCORKER OF OCEAN BOTTLES

Narrator Scott Sowers's measured pace is tantalizing and demands close listening. Haven't we all hoped to find a message in a bottle washed up on shore? The "Uncorker" featured in this story seems to do it all the time. And then he sets about delivering that message to its rightful owner--whether he or she is nearby or so far away that the Uncorker's "compass [becomes] rusty." With crystal-clear enunciation and lingering pauses over delicious words and phrases, Sowers delivers listeners into this world. How does this mysterious person spend his time? Where do his deliveries take him? Whom does he meet? And what will happen when the Uncorker has a mysterious invitation to deliver? A.R. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2017]
