Loved Elizabeth Klett's reading while busy hating Undine.

Excellent, mannered and erudite

Elizabeth Klatt gives a fine reading, as usual, very appropriate for the work. It's a cutting story about an ambitious, yet shallow woman, as she cuts her way through the men of America and Europe, always seeking something better, never satisfied. Undine has no scruples and not a single unselfish bone in her body. She's calculating, coniving and willing to use all her natural tallents and weapons at her disposal to achieve any objective she desires in her continual quest to have all that she wants from life.

A very good reading and pleasurable to listen to: The reader handles Wharton’s language very well including the many foreign names, places, titles etc. A vast improvement over version 1 - which has many different readers, many of whom are very poor.

Terrific!

Once again, Ms. Klett reads Edith Wharton with perfection. The Custom of the Country is another look into the striving lives and unhappy marriages of the near wealthy and hangers on.

great reading of a dastardly woman

Gorgeous and clear reading! Klett does a great job of creating mannerisms for each character that are unique but not too distracting. A wonderful audio.

Wonderful story

Klett's narration makes a mediocre or bad book better, and a good read great.
