THE ANNUAL MIGRATION OF CLOUDS

Eva Tavares narrates this short, poignant look at one possible outcome of global climate disaster. The cast is small, and the setting is claustrophobic. The survivors in this community are literally crammed into each nook and cranny. There is almost no place to be alone. The characters have the same accent, yet Tavares manages to make each person distinct while making it clear they are part of the community. Tavares's performance starts small and grows as the main character, Reid, grows. With each new discovery and with every new triumph, Tavares gets louder and her first-person narration becomes more confident. Ultimately, when the epic conclusion arrives, listeners will be cheering and full of hope in the face of the apocalypse. A.R.F. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2021]
