THE CLIFFS

With its stellar cast and sprawling story, this audiobook is outstanding. Jane, an archivist at Harvard, returns to her childhood home on the coast of Maine to get her late mother's affairs in order. She discovers that her dream house there has been sold, and the new owner hires her for historical research on the house, which could be haunted. Told by several narrators, the novel follows Jane, performed by Cassandra Campbell, and her passion to uncover the histories of the women in her life. The narrators deliver a robust story at a steady pace and treat the characters' concerns, hopes, and fears with care. The level of detail in Jane's interactions with the townspeople is a memorable highlight. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
