Episode: WHERE THE HEART SHOULD BE by Sarah Crossan, read by Sophie Jo Wasson
Description: Narrator Sophie Jo Wasson transports listeners to Ireland in 1847 with her poignant performance. Like many throughout the country, Nell’s family’s potato crop is infected with a black rot that makes the potatoes inedible. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Leslie Fine discuss the way that Wasson’s lilting intonation and Irish accent take listeners into Nell’s world, capturing the devastation, terror, and dashes of hope experienced by the teenager. Simply exquisite.
