ONCE UPON A SUNSET

Joy Osmanski narrates the story of a mother and daughter who find their lives turned upside down with the discovery of a stack of letters from family they never knew they had. Diana is a highly capable ob/gyn who perpetually runs from her emotions. Her mother, Margo, is an Instagram fashion superstar working on her bucket list. When Diana makes a judgment call that brings to light a disparity in the treatment of patients of different classes at her hospital, she finds herself on forced sabbatical and seeking out her family history in the Philippines. Osmanski's performance is loving and careful as she shares Tagalog terms of endearment and emphasizes the joys and frustrations of mother-daughter relationships. The audiobook is narrated beautifully, and listening is a joy. V.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2020]
