answered a question about
No Two Persons:

| This book was a bright light in a dark autumn, a warm, funny, sparkling read (listen). Julia Whelan has a narrator's ear for pacing, banter, and description that is only made more wonderful by listening to her narrate her own book. Yes, it's about an ...more | |
