Best Fiction Audio 
of the Year List 

AudioFile Magazine names Montreal Stories by Mavis Gallant, narrated by Margot Dionne (Rattling Books) as one of the 12 Best Fiction Audio Books of the Year!






What reviewers are saying 
about Rattling Books:


on the beach in spanish room, written and read by Janis Spence:

What an unassuming but brilliant little gem this recording is. ...Spence gives a masterful performance of all the roles she’s created—and it doesn’t hurt that she’s got that incomparable Newfoundland accent. 

- AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award



Montreal Stories by Mavis Gallant
narrated by Margot Dionne:

Montreal Stories by Gallant, the Montreal-born writer who has lived most of her life in Paris, is sheer perfection. The audiobook  recently won an Earphones Award from the U.S. magazine AudioFile, and it is easy to understand why. Gallant's brilliant stories (of grim relationships and the Montreal of her 1930s and '40s youth) in the rich, modulated narration of actor Margot Dionne stay with you long after the recording has finished.

The Last Voyage of the Karluk by Captain Robert Bartlett
narrated by Frank Holden:

In this tale of Arctic exploration, narrator Frank Holden turns in a masterful performance as Robert Bartlett, captain of the ill-fated Karluk , which sank off the Siberian coast in 1914. From the Newfoundland accent to the fortitude of a polar adventurer, Holden inhabits his subject.

- Publishers Weekly



The True Meaning of Crumbfest by David Weale
performed by Antonia Francis:

Are you ready for a special treat? ...a remarkable narration. The story's narrator is 5-year-old Antonia Francis... How refreshing her narration is!  The combination of Francis's heartfelt empathy for Eckhart and her youthful, earnest presentation captivates.
