Library Journal Review

This abridged version of Siddons's (Fault Lines, Audio Reviews, LJ 3/15/96) romance novel will please those in search of an emotionally satisfying human drama. The production perfectly conveys the mysterious mood of a Gullah island of the South Carolina low country. Actor Debra Monk's bag of tricks includes a broad Cuban accent and over-the-top voices for the Southern folkÄvoices that really do sound like they are native to the region. The story involves a tug of war between Caro Venable and her husband, Clay, over the fate of the island and its people; Caro's flirtation with their Cuban visitor; and the couple's coming to grips with the death of their young daughter. It is full of engaging characters and has a winding plot that leads to the only possible resolution. Recommended.ÄMark Pumphrey, Polk Cty. P.L., Columbus, NC (c) Copyright 2010.
