The performance by Justine Eyre was pleasant and she kept each character sounding individual - which I find amazing!

Where does The Last Camellia rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Somewhere in the middle.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have removed the gory descriptions of the violence and added more information about camelias and botony.Which character – as performed by Justine Eyre – was your favorite?
FloraWho was the most memorable character of The Last Camellia and why?
Flora was the most memorable character because she was so human - she was a good, kind person placed in a difficult situation and tempted to do something she wouldn't normally consider because of her desire to protect those she loved.Any additional comments?
The gory descriptions of the violence overshadowed what would have been a perfect read. I have to add that the book was not replete with violence - there weren't many instances of it, but the instances that occur in this book are far to graphic for my taste.The plot is well constructed with a story that weaves two lives from two different time periods masterfully. I found the story engaging, but I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't more information about camelias and botony. I like mysteries that teach as well as entertain me. There was some information, just not quite enough to make it as much of an intellectual exercise as I would have liked.
The performance was exceptional. Justine Eyre could not have read it any better.
Too little camelia, too much violence

Listen to the sample first - the narrator’s voice isn’t for everyone

What other book might you compare The Last Camellia to and why?
It reminds me of some Kate Morton books. I like the way the story is woven of the past and present.Which scene was your favorite?
I liked when she finally came clean about her past. I understand why here having a secret was important to the story, but it felt forced that she wouldn't speak of her past openly.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions, but I did like it.Good story

Which brings me to the narration. I read this book years ago but I had forgotten most of it. Many books read between then and now :) Since I love Sarah Jio I decided on a whim to listen to it this time. I think, probably, the narrator is normally good, but maybe she had some misguided direction from the sound director ? or whoever is in charge of these recordings. The present day chapters sound like she is trying to speak a little quieter, with her mouth too close to the microphone. It comes out so breathy and whiny and nasally, hard to listen to. And the voice she did for the husband with a British accent makes it sound like he’s old enough to be her grandfather. Now, having said all that, I should say that I think the narration of the historical chapters actually sounds better.
I can see by the reviews, many were disappointed with this one, but don’t let that stop you from trying more Sarah Jio books!
Good story, narration not so good
