STONE YARD DEVOTIONAL

Ailsa Piper evokes the stark Outback of Australia in her performance of this captivating novel. To escape her busy life in the city, a middle-aged woman visits a small religious community for peace and quiet. Years later, she returns to the community, this time for good. But not long after she joins the nuns in their daily life, a plague of mice descends upon the entire state. Piper captures the narrative voice of the nameless protagonist. Through her performance of dialogue, Piper makes the characters come alive in a special way. And as the mice invade every nook and cranny of the nuns' home, Piper conveys all of the eeriness of the event. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
