I liked the story but the accents have to go! The intermittent southern accent especially made this a difficult and jarring experience. If the narrator re-recorded the novel without using accents, it would be a great listen. If I was the author I’d demand it! The author’s words capture her characters beautifully. This recording doesn’t do justice to her characters or her story.
