ANITA DE MONTE LAUGHS LAST

With its compelling story and powerful narration, this audiobook keeps listeners invested until the very end. In 1985, Cuban artist Anita de Monte is found dead in New York City. Her death is briefly the talk of the town, but then she's essentially forgotten. In 1998, Raquel Toro, a Puerto Rican first-generation art student, is seeking a topic for her thesis. The story alternates between the two timelines and two primary characters. Anita, portrayed by Jessica Pimentel, sounds vibrant and fiery; her husband, Jack, is voiced believably by Jonathan Gregg. Stacy Gonzalez captures Raquel's focus and drive as her discovery of Anita's story changes the course of her work. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
