About this listen

A story of siblings and faith from short-story master Tobias Wolff.

Frances has always been protective of her younger brother Frank. The children of a brutal father and a sick, defenseless mother, Frances fought to keep her brother safe. And throughout all of his adult failings – from drug addiction to near-fatal car crashes - she has stood by his side.

Now Frank has found religion. Standing in his crisp white shirt and restrictive tie, he's eager to recount last Sunday's sermon to his older sister. As the sermon unfolds, the father must make a terrible choice – one that cuts deep for Frances. Can she and her brother withstand these new challenges?

Loved everything… Jarvis is genius in doing those voices and Crompton’s writing emerges stronger and stronger with every listen. So pleased it’s here as we had on CD when my kids were little. Needless to say, they still love William and chums to this day.

Joyous!

I listened to this twice because I just didn't get it the first time & thought I must've drifted off & missed something.
On the second listen, I realise I hadn't missed anything, it was just weird!

It made no sense at all & I was left thinking 'meh'.
