THE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE

While listening to this audiobook, one must believe the impossible is possible--maybe even probable. The otherworldly story begins with an email from a despondent college student, Morris, to his former math teacher, Grace. Jordan Stephens narrates the gloomy email, and listeners feel his pain. Grace responds by telling her amazing story of how she, at age 72, found new energy and a sense of joy from her preternatural adventures on the Spanish island Ibiza. The British actress Johanna Lumley perfectly portrays the crotchety British widow, who is reborn after an alien encounter. She experiences a renewed sense of purpose and new telepathic powers. For some listeners the extraterrestrials and paranormal events may be too much, but others may find them therapeutic. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
