ALL'S WELL

After a tragic accident, Miranda suffers constant excruciating pain. Narrator Sophie Amoss keeps this story engrossing, despite its focus on pain and depression. Forced to give up her promising acting career, Miranda teaches and directs theater at a small college. This year she's scheduled a production of ALL'S WELL. Amoss delivers harrowing descriptions of Miranda's years of agonizing treatments and self-medicating. Finally, thanks to three mysterious men and their "golden remedy," Miranda's pain ebbs, and Amoss captures her amazement. But now the female lead in ALL'S WELL is in excruciating pain, and everyone believes Miranda's responsible. Reality is slippery in this novel, but Amoss's performance will keep listeners tuned in.
