Review of Crossing the River Lethe

A moving personal communication from a daughter who through vivid snapshot images manages to bring us close to her current experience as her mother's caretaker. The producer's slow pacing, combined with the use of water sounds and an old recording to bracket the past and present, give us the time and ambience-support to feel, however briefly, what it is like to be in her shoes. Perfect for Mother's Day.
