ELIZABETH BOWEN

The performance of a celebrated actor is recorded live at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. Rosemary Harris gives a captivating reading of four short stories by Anglo-Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen, plus selections from SEVEN WINTERS and BOWEN'S COURT. Bowen's wit and understanding of human nature come across superbly. Unfortunately, the selections are marred in several places by poor sound quality. VICTORIA magazine is to be commended for offering this live performance in the audio format. However, the author's works are so beautifully presented that I would have preferred a reading without an audience. C.R.A. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 97]
