The Old Drift

Three narrators work together to create this intergenerational family saga. Adjoa Andoh, Richard E. Grant, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith alternate chapters to create the three families whose fates and thirst for revenge tie them together for more than a hundred years. Written and told as a series of short stories, the works introduce listeners to new people, settings, and time periods with each installment. Andoh, Grant, and Holdbrook-Smith are each strong performers in their own right. They juggle multiple ethnicities and characters of both genders throughout the entanglements of dozens of lives. Listeners will enjoy this experience as the novel mixes fact and fiction, reality and elements of fantasy, for a unique story. M.R. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
