I bought this book because my parents live in Homer, Alaska and I have spent a lot of time there. I have enjoyed Sue Henry's previous books, but opted for the audiobook this time. The fact that the narrator pronounced Kenai (should be "keen eye") and Kachemak (should be "catch a mack") wrong ruined the book for me. The book is a first person narrative and the two words are integral to life in Homer, so it really felt like the character didn't really live in Homer and was unbelievable. On top of all that, I really didn't like the voice or cadence of the narrator, but that could have been influenced by my frustration at her lack of experience with Alaksa.
