THE CODGER AND THE SPARROW

Fans of stories about mismatched people are certain to enjoy Brian Craig's narration of this novel. Hank is a curmudgeon who mostly wants to be left alone, except for one last attempt to rekindle a very brief, very one-sided high school romance. Luis is a good-natured guy living in unfortunate but not insurmountable circumstances. Together, the pair make an odd couple, and Craig shares their stories with a perfect mix of wonder, empathy, and enthusiasm. By the end, the listener is sure to be happy to have taken the road trip that unites Hank and Luis in ways expected and unexpected. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
