Review :
Praise for "A Home at the End of the World": "[A] superb audio adaptation of Cunningham's vivid coming-of-age tale....Actors Farrell and Roberts--who play Bobby and Jonathan respectively in the Warner Bros. motion picture--fill the same roles here, and both deliver moving, understated performances."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)"Cunningham, who received the Pulitzer Prize for The Hours, is a matchless stylist whose eye for character and scene is rendered in immaculate images and metaphors....Succulent prose."--"AudioFile"Praise for "The Hours": "The pace and rhythm of Cunningham's novel echo Woolf's elliptical writing style. It's a conceit that works. Cunningham is a thoughtful writer.... Hearing a book the way an author hears it is an interesting experience, particularly when it is such an interesting book." --"AudioFile""A smashing literary tour de force and an utterly invigorating reading experience. If this book does not make you jump up from the sofa, looking at life and literature in new ways, check to see if you have a pulse." --"USA Today""[Cunningham] has fashioned a fictional instrument of intricacy and remarkable beauty. It is a kaleidoscope whose four shining and utterly unlike pieces--the lives of two fictional characters, of a real writer, and her novel--combine, separate and tumble in continually shifting and startlingly suggestive patterns." --Richard Eder, "Los Angeles Times"
