HOUSEMATES

Golden Voice Narrator Marin Ireland performs this debut novel, which features two queer artists. Housemates Bernie and Leah set off on a road trip to capture the heart of Pennsylvania in photographs and words. While they travel across the state, their relationship grows deeper as they try to make sense of the world around them through their art. Ireland's performance makes Bernie and Leah come alive in the way that the best narrators do. She excels at expressing their depth of emotion as they work through their ideas together. As a result, Ireland's style of narration lets the prose shine and draws listeners into this deeply thoughtful story. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2024]
