AVALON

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. After the sudden loss of her husband, Mariah returns to the sleepy beach town of Avalon to save the house her grandfather built, a rambling Victorian lovingly nicknamed The Pink Poodle. There, she rekindles a romance with Trey, a former lifeguard and the first crush of her early years, and unravels the mystery of her last summer in Avalon, twenty-five years before, when she met the two people who had changed the trajectory of her life. "...there's a dreamy feel to the talk of storms and romance, adolescence and adulthood, and ancient stories and second chances. And that mood fits well with the ideas raised: of ocean waves that soften what they touch but never erase it, of a place changed by time yet still somehow outside of time, and of connections that change but never disappear. An emotional tale built of lightweight materials that has a surprising and satisfying depth." Kirkus Reviews Duration - 7h 42m. Author - Gina Miani. Narrator - Digital Voice Lucille E.
