Some authors should not be forgotten. First published in 1989, when British author V.S. Pritchett was 89 years old, this collection of six stories has thankfully found a second life on audio. The past plays a part in all six stories in which middle-aged people revisit places or people they have known. Irony and humor shade these tales in which characterization is key. Each of Pritchett鈥檚 creations has a clear voice, with a personality that is unique and nuanced, believable and sometimes delightful. Both narrators are British actors with countless audiobooks under their belts 鈥� and it shows. Their performances are likable and subtly shaded with emotion. Grade: A鈥�
