What’s New from Alison Larkin
Alison featured & interviewed in Rural Intelligence, The Rural We: Alison Larkin, sharing how she made her way to the Berkshires.
Praise for Alison Larkin’s narration of Emma: “There’s a vintage feel to Alison Larkin’s narration of this Austen favorite. The bell-like quality of her sweetly accented voice harkens back to another, quieter, time. However, her delivery of this much-loved matchmaking story offers a flexibility that is contemporary and easy to hear. Larkin’s vocals can be precious or blustery, proper or pompous, depending on which character she occupies, and she creates distinctions between each with skill. The pace is brisk, and Larkin’s treatment of the light humor in the novel is so subtle it could be missed by the distracted listener. Jaunty musical interludes grace the transitions between chapters, adding to the quaint charm of this production.”
