5.0 out of 5 stars Great Storytelling, April 18, 2007

This review is from: The Shifting Fog (Audio CD)

If your granny sat down with you to tell you a tale on cold winter's night, this would be it. Expertly written with flashbacks to the youth of the main character in a period setting of 1914 England and the untold mystery of the destined-to-be-famous people who employed her back then. A tragic tale of love, betrayal, and the consequences of the smallest deceptions in life.

The audio version was narrated by Caroline Lee whose every word hold so many nuances and inflections you are brought into intimate contact with the characters. I was entralled!

This review is from: The Shifting Fog (Audio CD)

Currently available only as an audiobook (or audio download), "The Shifting Fog" is well worth the time of anyone who enjoys period romances and gothic storytelling. Over the course of the narrative's 16 compact discs, the story is sprawling yet intimate, intellectual yet warm and inviting. There's a dose of modernity, too: the 20's female characters are always talking about social issues, such as societal limitations on females, escaping traditional roles, etc., plus many scenes are literally set in modern times, as the ninety-something year old Grace looks back and remembers her years as a lady's maid at a British estate. The sympathetic characters (some "upstairs", some "downstairs"), interesting plotting and sensitive, compelling narration by Caroline Lee make "The Shifting Fog" easy to recommend.
