THE HEAVEN OF ANIMALS Stories

An ensemble of accomplished narrators proves to be an effective choice for the rich diversity of characters in Poissant's debut story collection. Thirteen stories offer a range of complex characters and emotions, and the pairing of voices with personalities lets listeners experience a more intimate connection with the flawed but compelling figures who are playing out slices of their lives. The difficult relationship of the same father and son opens and closes the anthology, while the intervening selections deliver equally raw and honest glimpses of ordinary people who are trying to deal with life. This audiobook will reward listeners with impressive narrations and memorable stories. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2014]
