Nina Yndis narrates a bewitching short story about a girl, Judith, who longs for adventure and romance in her quiet life. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this atmospheric tale from Silvia Moreno-Garcia that reads like an enchanting—and slightly sinister—fairy tale. Judith dreams of the world beyond her small village, and resents her lot working for her beautiful and cruel older sister. Listeners hear her thrill as a handsome stranger comes to town—and devastation when he chooses her sister over her. The winter brings snow and hungry wolves to the village, and Judith falls into sensuous entanglements in the wintery woods. Yndis’s light Norwegian accent and engaging voice will draw listeners into this romantic tale.
