"Eveline" is a short story from James Joyce's classic Dubliners. Nineteen-year-old Eveline has decided to leave home, but her future journey may not be all that she hopes. Like other stories in Dubliners,"Eveline" offers a penetrating analysis of Dublin society, especially its stagnation and paralysis. Each story incorporates epiphanies, by which Joyce meant to convey a sudden consciousness of the "soul" of a thing.

Proceeds from sale of this title go to Reach Out and Read, an innovative literacy advocacy organization.

The story confused me - I’m not sure what its point was - but John Lee gave a beautiful narration for it. Perhaps Eveline is one part of a series that makes more sense together and I haven’t yet found the rest, or perhaps it’s simply a short story reminiscent of high school English. Either way, the main attraction for me was definitely John Lee’s contribution.

Beautiful Voice, But Story...?
