THE MAN WITH NO BORDERS

Narrator Thom Rivera gives this novel an unforgettable performance as he captures the diminishing spirit and dying body of José María lvarez. Rivera's diction is spot-on as he delivers Spanish, American, Swiss, and Indian accents. He powerfully conveys the tortured thoughts of the flawed and complex private banker at the center of this compelling work as he re-creates the aristocrat's life story. This fictional tour de force is packed with insights on private banking, long, satisfying passages on fishing, and even a cameo of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. The audiobook comes across as a dramatic monologue in which lvarez, riddled with cancer, tries to make amends for his life with his family and restore his soul. A.D.M.
