Judith Ivey
But over the many summers she spends there, Maude comes to cherish life in the colony, as she does the people who share it with her. There is her husband Peter, consumed with a darkness of spirit; her adored but dangerously fragile children; her domineering mother-in-law, who teaches her that it is the women who possess the strength to keep the colony intact; and Maine native Micah Willis, who is ultimately Maude's truest friend.

Critic reviews
"Siddons gets the melodrama balance just right and shows she's as much at home in Maine as she was in Georgia." (Kirkus Reviews)

Second, I was unaware that you abridge some books. I would never have downloaded an abridged book knowingly and will know in the future to watch out for such and avoid them. Ms. Siddons' books are beautifully written, with great subtlety and character development. They should not be abridged.
Disappointing

What did you like best about Colony? What did you like least?
I read the book version of "Colony" when it was first published several years ago. It is a rich tapestry woven of interesting and memorable characters. The abridged version did not do it justice.Would you recommend Colony to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend it only to friends who do not mind an abridged work, or have never read the original book, and are just looking for something to fill time. Much of the power of the book was left out of the audio book.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Judith Ivy is a favorite actress, but her accent was so broad (Southern) that sometimes I could not understand her.Was Colony worth the listening time?
Not for me, as I remember the original book. Some may like it, especially if they enjoy shorter audio books.A so-so rendition of a favorite book

By all means, read the book but don’t bother with listening to it.
Too much cut out!! The beauty of this book deserves every word read
