Auntie Poldi and the Vineyards of Etna

Listeners eavesdrop on Auntie Poldi as she recounts to her nephew her remarkable experiences with two murders and the Mafia in her adopted home of Sicily. Narrator Matt Addis shifts smoothly between the story narrated by Poldi and that offered by her nephew--giving a start of surprise to listeners each time the nephew interjects. With whimsical character traits, Poldi proves that an older woman can be a drinker and a sexual individual while also solving mysteries and improvising her way through life. Addis makes a wise decision to stick to a gentle British accent despite the fact that the book takes place in Sicily among Bavarians. V.M.G. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
