Lynn Redgrave successfully portrays young children, teenagers, nervous housewives, very British males, and new stepfathers without missing a beat in this recording of Pilcher's novel. Redgrave's delightful British accent and deep voice lends itself to a variety of situations. The five gentle and fulfilling stories evoke images of contentment and happiness. From the title story, where teenaged Emily finds herself the unexpected midwife to her stepmother's labor, thus cementing their relationship, to ``An Evening To Remember,'' wherein Alison Stockman must think quickly when her husband's boss and his wife arrive for dinner on the wrong night, Redgrave infuses a spectrum of emotion and humor into the tight prose. This successful combination of author and reader should not be overlooked. For all general collections.-- Jodi L. Israel, Westwood, Mass.
