Ordinary heroes

Actor Edward Herrmann is the perfect voice for Scott Turow's new novel. Herrmann never gets in the way of the story; rather, he serves as a vehicle for the work. His performance is seamless, flawless. Herrmann has one accent for the young man learning about his father's past in WWII and a different voice when he portrays that father. Even his vocalization of the young French woman who becomes embroiled in the action is perfect. Perhaps the finest testament to Turow's writing skill is that he has to explain that the book is not based on his own father. Otherwise, after finishing the work, that is the first question the listener will ask. M.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award Stewart Dubinsky knew his father had served in World War II.

  • "Stewart Dubinsky knew his father had served in World War II. And he'd been told how David Dubin (as his father had Americanized the name that Stewart later reclaimed) had rescued Stewart's mother from the horror of the Balingen concentration camp. But when he discovers, after his father's death, a packet of wartime letters to a former fiancée, and learns of his father's court-martial and imprisonment, he is plunged into the mystery of his family's secret history and driven to uncover the truth about this enigmatic, distant man who'd always refused to talk about his war. As he pieces together his father's past through military archives, letters, and, finally, notes from a memoir his father wrote while in prison, secretly preserved by the officer who defended him, Stewart starts to assemble a dramatic and baffling chain of events."@en
