Two Voices to Love!
Revisado: 01-18-22
Two voices to love here. The first is that of the main character, Karen, a sharp-witted, fifty-year-old English teacher, who raises her niece on her own, drinks too much , and struggles to pull herself out of her mundane, unsatisfying life. Johnnie Bernhard has created a character that you can’t help cheer for, even during her most pathetic moments, as she transforms from a “girl-woman” to a woman fully deserving the love she finds along the way. The second voice to love is that of audiobook narrator Theresa Bakken, who gives Karen an underlying softness while delivering even the most sarcastic lines. Theresa also nails the snap of disgust in teenager Tiffany’s responses and presents my favorite character, Hungarian refugee Leona, with the strength and dignity she deserves. The pace of the novel lends itself to audiobook form and is a pleasure to listen to. I highly recommend How We Came to Be.
