on the beach in spanish room by Janis Spence
What an unassuming but brilliant little gem this recording is. Set in Newfoundland, all six stories stand proudly on their own, but together they have the sweep of a novel. The reason is Janis Spence's marvellous characters, "who wore their lives as casually as big sweaters." ... Spence gives a masterful performance of all the roles she's created - and it doesn't hurt that she's got that incomparable Newfoundland accent."
