THE ETERNAL AUDIENCE OF ONE

Michael Boatman is a powerful force in his capable performance of this audiobook. In a confident, agile voice, he carries listeners through the story of Séraphin, a Rwandan college student standing on the brink of adulthood. No matter what an accent or a vocal nuance might demand, Boatman is up to the challenge, diving into dialogue with special aplomb. As Séraphin prepares for life as a law student in South Africa, Boatman narrates each experience with care and emotion. The unfolding of the plot itself can be inconsistent at times, with some sections dragging and others moving at a faster clip. Throughout the audio experience, though, Boatman's skill is evident and notable. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2021]
