Synopsis

Griffin: It's good to get in touch with you at last. Could I have one of your fish postcards? I think you were right -- the wine glass has more impact than the cup. --Sabine

But Griffin had never met a woman named Sabine. How did she know him? How did she know his artwork? Who is she? Thus begins the strange and intriguing correspondence of Griffin and Sabine. And since each letter must be pulled from its own envelope, the reader has the delightful, forbidden sensation of reading someone else's mail. Griffin & Sabine is like no other illustrated novel: appealing to the poet and artist in everyone and sure to inspire a renaissance in the fine art of letter-writing, it tells an extraordinary story in an extraordinary way.

From AudioFile:

For all who have seen these books of postcards and letters, the idea of an audiobook version seems absurd. Artist Griffin Moss is suddenly discovered by Sabine, a mysterious woman from a tiny island on the other side of the world. Here begins their "Extraordinary Correspondence." Marina Sirtis uses her unusual accent to bring out the exotic characteristics of Sabine. With every word, the mystery unravels to the very last thread. So can this tale of letters and pictures be recounted on tape? Most definitely. Disappear into this unbelievable tale, the beautiful tones of Marina Sirtis and the cautious words of Maxwell Caulfield as Griffin. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
