An Enchanting Correspondence
I’d really enjoyed reading Letters to Icarus and looked forward to the audio version. I’ve always been especially drawn to stories told entirely through correspondence of one kind or another - in this case, the ‘old-fashioned’ email.
I really liked how each narrator was individual while fitting so well with the others. The narration--the storytelling--further added to my picture of the setting and characters--like watching a line drawing develop rounding and depth through the steady addition of shading and emphasis.
The weaving of astronomy and spiritual musings with daily life was entrancing. Brother David’s memory vignette of hiking in British Columbia and Sister Helene’s of swimming in St Lucia, these Earth memories bring out even more strongly the terrifyingly beautiful imagery of their lives on the far side of the moon.
It is a thought-provoking story which I will be listening to again.
