From AudioFile

NOW is the third of the Felix stories (after ONCE and THEN). Surgeon Felix survived the Holocaust and now lives in Australia with his granddaughter, Zelda. Narrator Mary-Anne Fahey is outstanding in her portrayals of the elderly Felix and the young Zelda. Fahey underscores Zelda's exuberance and her very Aussie accent while Felix sounds more subdued and contemplative. Particularly moving are Zelda's thoughts as she tries to live up to her beloved grandfather's philosophy that now--living in the present--is best while the bad is better left in the past. The author's closing remarks add to the poignancy of these moving stories of survival. S.G.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
