Anne Bernays teaches at Harvard's Nieman Foundation.
Cape Cod is shown at its best as the background for Dannie Faber's life as an illustrator of children's books. The quality of daylight and the winds and the silence after the summer people leave are her euphoria. Then someone builds a monster trophy house down the road, and Dannie's happiness starts falling away. Celeste Lawson reads as if she is telling her own story. Her manner is reserved, as if she is holding back the desire to let her feelings fly, and that restraint allows the listeners to judge the characters for themselves, making the listening experience a very personal time.
