Kate Reading
From one of our most acclaimed writers comes this dramatic tale of a well-born Southern woman whose life is forever changed by the betrayal of her mother and by the man she loves.
Growing up, the only place tomboy Thayer Wentworth felt at home was at her summer camp - Camp Sherwood Forest in the North Carolina Mountains. It was there that she came alive and where she met Nick Abrams, her first love...and first heartbreak.
Years later, Thayer marries Aengus, an Irish professor, and they move into her deceased grandmother's house in Atlanta, only miles from Camp Edgewood on Burnt Mountain where her father died years ago in a car accident. There, Aengus and Thayer lead quiet and happy lives until Aengus is invited up to the camp to tell old Irish tales to the campers. As Aengus spends less time at home and becomes more distant, Thayer must confront dark secrets-about her mother, her first love, and, most devastating of all, her husband.

If you could sum up Burnt Mountain in three words, what would they be?
Amazing but sad.If you’ve listened to books by Anne Rivers Siddons before, how does this one compare?
I love her books but this was not her best.It did hold my interest but I did cry a lot. My favorites are Faults Lines and Nora Nora, there are two other but they don't come to mind this minute.What does Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kate Reading voice. It is lyrical, magical. She can do many voices and you believe she is really that person. I wish she could narrate every book. When I have listened to other books by Siddons, it is not the same if Kate Reading doesn't read them.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many, it makes you think that Ms. Siddons has had a lot of loss in her life. You can't write about it the way she does unless you have experienced it. You would like to beat the mother. The mother is always terrible or missing in all her books.Any additional comments?
This review may sound a little negative but I'm not sorry I bought it.Good,but more sadness than usual.

On the up side, the narrator did a GREAT job with the varying accents that she was given and it was for the narrator alone that I finished listening to the book.
Not so great

Would you consider the audio edition of Burnt Mountain to be better than the print version?
I enjoyed the performance of the narrator but the print and audio versions are about equal for me.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I thought the ending of this book to be rushed. It left me with many unanswered questions.Which scene was your favorite?
I liked the campfire scene where Nick & Thayer met.If you could rename Burnt Mountain, what would you call it?
I wouldn't change the title of this.Any additional comments?
There were a lot of gaps in this story that could have been filled in to make the book better.Not My Favorite of Anne River Siddons.
