Reviews:


on the beach in spanish room, written and read by Janis Spence:

What an unassuming but brilliant little gem this recording is. ...Spence gives a masterful performance of all the roles she’s created—and it doesn’t hurt that she’s got that incomparable Newfoundland accent. 

- AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award



Montreal Stories by Mavis Gallant
narrated by Margot Dionne:

Montreal Stories by Gallant, the Montreal-born writer who has lived most of her life in Paris, is sheer perfection. The audiobook  recently won an Earphones Award from the U.S. magazine AudioFile, and it is easy to understand why. Gallant's brilliant stories (of grim relationships and the Montreal of her 1930s and '40s youth) in the rich, modulated narration of actor Margot Dionne stay with you long after the recording has finished. 

- The Ottawa Citizen



The Last Voyage of the Karluk by Captain Robert Bartlett
narrated by Frank Holden:

In this tale of Arctic exploration, narrator Frank Holden turns in a masterful performance as Robert Bartlett, captain of the ill-fated Karluk , which sank off the Siberian coast in 1914. From the Newfoundland accent to the fortitude of a polar adventurer, Holden inhabits his subject.

- Publishers Weekly



The True Meaning of Crumbfest by David Weale
performed by Antonia Francis:

Are you ready for a special treat? ...a remarkable narration. The story's narrator is 5-year-old Antonia Francis... How refreshing her narration is!  The combination of Francis's heartfelt empathy for Eckhart and her youthful, earnest presentation captivates.

- AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award 


The Big Why
by Michael Winter
read by Robert Joy:

"Note-perfect" and "memorable" are adjectives you'll also want to use to describe the audio version of Michael Winter's The Big Why, from the little Newfoundland company that could, Rattling Books.

- Ottawa Citizen


The Grey Islands by John Steffler
read by the author with supporting cast:

The narrative voices (the author and others) vary with the mood and subject matter, a resonant male voice telling of a young wife’s death long ago, another delivering with religious fervor a history of Newfoundland’s people and the sins for which they have been punished by being delivered to this harsh environment. Vivid descriptive details create an unforgettable sense of life in that place, starkly beautiful and hauntingly remote. Highly recommended.

- Library Journal


Listening to Rattling Books’ edition of The Grey Islands may even be the ideal way to experience the poem. Steffler’s poetry usually takes the form of soliloquies or interior monologues and it is always rooted in the unadorned, everyday language of his individual speakers. Hearing Frank Holden and Darryl Hopkins read the parts of the townsfolk reveals just how well Steffler has managed to capture the natural cadence and poetry of ordinary Newfoundland speech.
