"Peoples so unfinished.."

What about Laurel Lefkow’s performance did you like?

Laurel Lefkow's performance was very funny with the right accents and spirit.

Any additional comments?

My 8 year old daughter and I listened to "The unfinished Angel" almost in one sitting (bedtime beckons.) And we thoroughly enjoyed the humor of the book and its performance.
What if an Angel does not know who she is, what she is supposed to do and what she is supposed to look like? Although she is rather old(as she reminded us indignantly in her broken English-Italian accented narration) her child like discovery and questions and observation of the people around her. And Zola being the colourful child that she is, could see and talk to the Angel and often asks her poignant questions that children often do?
We could listen to the story again and again and asks ourselves different questions each time.
Very entertaining, can be poignant but very light hearted.
