EVENING

Narrator Erin Moon shares her talents in an audiobook revolving around a woman's misconceptions about her family members. After her older sister, Tam, dies from cancer, 35-year-old Eve returns home to the city she couldn't wait to escape. Each day, as the family sits shiva, Eve discovers more about her sister's secrets and works through her changing view of their relationship. Moon's ability to shift between characters' distinctive voices pulls listeners into Eve's world in early-1990s Toronto. Moon captures the story's complex emotions, chiefly the family's grief and Eve's feeling of disconnection as she processes revelations about her sister and how they affect her own plans for the future. Moon's performance adds a tone of authenticity to the story, making for a worthwhile listen. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
