Product Description

From AudioFile

At times, this audiobook tries to be more substantial than it is, occasionally offering overwrought, inconsistent accents and at times emphasizing an awkward literary style. What begins as a teenage romantic moment in the woods turns terrifying when a girl is attacked and her boyfriend is blamed. Background stories about the townspeople fill the pages, as well, with mixed results, and sometimes Christine WilliamsÕs voice sounds forced and uncomfortable with what sheÕs reading. The pacing of both novel and performance varies widely, with inconsequential moments often taking center stage and significant developments transpiring quickly. In spite of all this, the production still offers enough of a diverting listen to hold oneÕs attention, if only to see how it all ends.

Par	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Slow Moon (Audio CD)

It begins quietly enough, romantically, if you will. We hear: "So on that April evening in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, with spring just beginning, a copper moon rose, balanced like a huge persimmon, and two young teenagers, Crow Davenport and his girl Sophie, left a party and walked into the woods toward the river to be alone."

Two sweethearts have gone into the woods to make love. But shortly after a blanket has been spread on the ground Sophie asks Crow if he has protection. At her urging he races off to his car to retrieve a condom. Upon returning Sophie isn't exactly where he had left her; in fact, she is not at all as he had left her. She's bruised, bleeding, moaning in pain. Although Crow does not know it at the time she has been gang raped.

When he hears the siren of a police car he panics and runs, frightened that he will be blamed. When his wallet is found by Sophie, of course, he is blamed. After Sophie regains consciousness she says nothing, leaving the townspeople to wonder why.

As the story unfolds author Cox adroitly reveals the personalities and paradoxes of those involved, from Bobbie who first laid claim to Sophie and was Crow's best friend to Helen, Crow's ultra religious mom, to Crow's rather introverted younger brother and others. All have a story to tell and secrets to keep.

Actor/singer Christine Williams gives a fine reading of this tale of teenage angst, confusion, lust, and the desire to be grown. She has a rather lilting, pleasing, sympathetic voice that carries listeners along to a surprising conclusion.
