His life's work and ambition fulfilled, Francis Brimm believes the only metamorphosis left him is a slow, affable decline toward death. So he returns to the town of his youth and to his sister, Muriel, whose life has been as uneventful as Francis's has been exciting.
But life is not about to let Francis go. Faces from the past haunt him, surprises in the present unsettle him. And suddenly, two people who thought their lives were over find themselves struggling not to be overwhelmed by new knowledge, hidden truths, and unexpected danger....

An accomplished novel...The language soars."

Francis Brimm has retired and returned to his hometown of Pines, Florida, where his older sister, Muriel, lives in the family home. Their discovery of the bones of two murdered students from the nearby blind school acts as a catalyst for realizations about their lives. William Schallert gives an unvoiced reading, which at first, is somewhat rushed; soon he settles into a steady pace. He gives emotional color to the narrative through inflection and tone. Listeners who prefer noninterpreted readings should find this a satisfying production. M.A.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
