The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'FarrellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Awesomely narrated by Anne Flosnik, this story was devastating - about a time when parents/people could put a person in an insane asylum for the rest of their life for no better reason than they could. Esme was a different child with parents who did not understand her, she was blamed for everything, and as she gets older, her parents could not deal with her. What I did not like with the narration was the abrupt endings in the flashbacks, but that was not the narrator's fault but probably would have been very apparent in the print version. There were too many questions left as the story went on, and this reader would have liked to know more, especially with the ending.
