THE LIGHTNING BOTTLES

Bahni Turpin's performance takes listeners to that time in the early 1990s when the world was changing and the latest alternative rock bands were everything. Jane meets burgeoning rock star Elijah in an Internet chat room, a connection that leads to a deep professional and personal bond. They form The Lightning Bottles and amass a devoted fan base, with Jane providing the backbone of their hits. Elijah spirals into addiction, ultimately disappearing, until a fan halfway around the world finds mysterious clues suggesting otherwise. Turpin provides listeners with a soundscape capturing the spirit of the time, as well as the North American and German accents that reflect the story's settings. Her voice fully embodies the audiobook's heartbreak and soul. S.P.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
