ALICE SADIE CELINE

It takes an incredibly skilled narrator to make character vignettes entrancing, and performer Chloë Sevigny more than achieves this. Alice is struggling through her young career as an actress working at a dwindling local theater. After her best friend Sadie's mother, Celine, attends the play, Celine and Alice enter into a controversial sexual relationship. Meanwhile, Sadie is trying to mend her own sexual hang-ups and strained relationships. In this bold story, Sevigny dissects each of the women's deepest secrets and exposes them all as vulnerable characters. Despite this, Sevigny also uncovers the beauty within a flawed life and the redemption in making the right choices. Her voluptuous narration is raw, honest, and best for listeners who are craving a challenging listening experience. G.M.
