Review of The Secret

Intimate and irresistibly evocative. The immediacy and sincerity with which Mrs. Jolly confides herself in this piece, makes it something special. She relates a portrait of depression, self-loathing, and guilt, this profound existential drama, with a simplicity and directness that nearly overwhelms me with a compassionate melancholy of the best sort.
This is the sort of piece to end a longer radio program with. Its subtle poignancy would compliment a more scientifically oriented exploration of a similar topic very nicely.
