Hearing The Latecomers for the first time was an out-of-body experience, listening to words I’d labored over for years on the page. I’m grateful to Kristin Fullam Thorvaldsen for giving it a listen, too. And for her generous words: “I loved listening to this audio production and thought all the narrators did an excellent job – bringing their assigned sections to life. And I loved that when there was a broadcast from the news or the paper, they set it apart from the regular narration, setting it to music and disguising the voice a bit. The score for this was pure brilliance and I will definitely be listening to this book again.”
