WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Kristin Atherton

Fiction • 11.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Narrator Kristin Atherton brings us to the tiny South Atlantic island of Tuga de Oro, known for being the most remote British colony in the world. London vet Charlotte Walker accepts a fellowship to study the endangered gold coin tortoises there, and perhaps find out more about herself. The caliber of acting Atherton displays is truly laudable. She goes beyond assigning memorable voices to characters by growling grumpy Pastor Garrick's greeting, filling Levi's voice with raw longing as Charlotte avoids kissing him, sounding breathy and tired as Joan's health deteriorates, and adding sobbed pauses as Charlotte spills her heart. These hundreds of little choices show mastery of craft and thoughtful understanding of each individual character, making listeners care deeply for all of them. S.S.
