Both handle the duties at hand with poise and skill, leaving listeners to appreciate the way that time can shape one’s perspective quite dramatically. Lourd performs the emotional long-ago passages with a palpable air of youthful self-consciousness. The juxtaposition between Fisher’s narration of her contemporary writing with the voice of her daughter, actress Lourd, reading diary portions written four decades earlier makes for telling contrast: Fisher, with her smoky, husky voice, sounds like a tough-as-nails seasoned survivor who doesn’t take her past romances and heartaches seriously and wishes her own fans would lighten up about their assumptions and speculations. This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the crown jewel of ideal Star Wars gifts. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the first. Fisher finally set out to publish a collection of essays related specifically to her role as Princess Leah in the blockbuster Star Wars movie franchise and a brief affair with her older-and married-co-star Harrison Ford during the shooting of the first film. Carries new book, The Princess Diarist is fricken brilliant I especially like the chapter, Carrison.
