1.50: Annette by Constance Congdon: Nicely pitched character piece to close the series
The My America series has covered all sorts of topics, feelings, characters, and politics (well, okay, not such a great range of political leanings), but it is nice to finish the series with a character that I think really does capture the sense of who the majority of Americans are. In Annette we find one of those real salt-of-the-earth types working as a cleaner for many years, but still cheerful. Let down by the system in many ways, and with plenty of challenges, and perhaps deep down not as strong as she lets on, or would herself like to think.
This is mostly well written with the character being very convincing throughout – and instantly recognizable. Gable does a good job with the delivery, making the words come to life and I think there were only one or two moments where perhaps the script asked her to reveal a lot very quickly, and probably at these points she is not quite as convincing – but still did a good job with the cracks showing. It is perhaps not as good as some of the others in the series, but it is a very personable entry, and respectful to a type of person who I think makes up a big chunk of anyone's America.
