MOTHERS AND SONS

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Gerard Doyle

Fiction • 8.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2008

Whether short stories are usually your “cuppa” or not, this outstanding collection will be deeply satisfying if you love literary fiction. Gerard Doyle does the best and apparently hardest thing for a narrator: He makes himself invisible so that the stories come alive for the listener, seemingly without an intermediary between the ear and the author. A mother whose son, a priest, is about to be tried for sexual abuse is disappointed and angry, but not for the reasons you'd guess. A young man is bewildered to realize that his mother is a hopeless drunk. How could he not have known? And yet, you believe he didn't. Doyle brings them alive with gravity and respect, exciting wonder at the emotional complexity of ordinary lives. B.G.
