Reviews

Narrators very inconsistent


(3 stars)

A few of the readers nail the Yorkshire accent. However, most do not, including the first narrator. I'm happy to have any kind of audiobook but there were times where the dialect work was painful to listen to.

Enigmatic


(4 stars)

One of Frances H. Burnett's Lancashire novels, with the attendant difficulty of dialect for the narrators to deal with. Most of them did well, but a couple couldn't manage it, which is why I only gave 4 stars. As usual, Ms. Burnett draws vivid, passionate characters and makes the listener understand their complex needs and motives. I do wonder if there's a sequel?
