Link to the Show / Show NotesA masterful story requires a masterful narrator, and Barbara Rosenblat deliver on the audio edition of Amy Bloom's Away.
Rosenblat skillfully handles a multitude of characters and accents in this transatlantic quest, which begins in Russia, and makes its way across the territory of the United States. This epic, intimate novel follows a young immigrant, Lillian Leyb, who is determined to make her way—and find her daughter—regardless of the cost.
Praise for Bloom's writing is pouring in: The New York Times calls it “alive with incident and unforgettable characters, it sparkles and illuminates as brilliantly as it entertains.” The Los Angeles Times says “The pleasures of Away are the ordinary pleasures of extraordinary novels: finely wrought prose, vivid characters, delectable details.” The Washington Post finds it “impassioned, erotic and moving—absolutely hypnotic.”HighBridge Audio Book Excerpts presents AWAY,
