SPEAKING PEACE IN A CLIMATE OF CONFLICT

Narrator Tanya Eby brings her powerful performance skills to an audiobook about how we can better use our words to speak peace in a time of extreme conflict. Eby's crisp and thoughtful narration takes the listener through an exploration of how words, especially euphemism and metaphor, can either strengthen or cheapen one's attempts to understand or address a difficult situation. The information in this audiobook can be hard to absorb, as some of it is painful. However, Eby does not shy away from emphasizing lighthearted moments as they arise, or skillfully performing pieces of poetry woven throughout the audiobook. She perfectly delivers the important takeaways of this powerful and timely work. V.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2020]
