Midwestern movie house owner Virgil Wander is "cruising along at medium altitude" when his car flies off the road into icy Lake Superior. Virgil survives, but his language and memory are altered, and he emerges into a world no longer familiar to him. Awakening in this new life, Virgil begins to piece together his personal history and the lore of his broken town, with the help of a cast of affable and curious locals. Into this community returns a shimmering prodigal son who may hold the key to reviving their town.

Loaded with excellent adjectives. Intriguing characters. Rambunctious weather. Been through it twice now and eager to enjoy it again next year.

It is 1940. France has fallen, and only a narrow strip of sea lies between Great Britain and invasion. The war could go either way, and everyone must do their bit. Young copywriter Catrin Cole is drafted into the Ministry of Information to help write women into propaganda films - something that the men aren't very good at. She is quickly seconded to the ministry's latest endeavor: a heartwarming tale of bravery and rescue at Dunkirk. It's all completely fabricated, of course, but what does that matter when the nation's morale is at stake?

What made the experience of listening to Their Finest the most enjoyable?
A delightful unfolding of the intersecting lives of ordinary characters in extraordinary times...with a few dogs. Journalists lie, filmmakers lie, and actors lie. Here they are working together to tell the story of WW2. Very well read by PW to make a fascinating cast distinct through their voices. I’m enjoying every minute of this with frequent laugh-out-loud moments.
