Lowcountry Summer

A Plantation Novel

By: Dorothea Benton Frank

Narrated by: Robin Miles

“Frank…writes with genuine adoration for and authority on the South Carolina Lowcountry from which she sprang….[Her] stuff is never escapist fluff—it’s the real deal.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Return to Tall Pines in the long-awaited sequel to Dorothea Benton Frank’s beloved bestseller Plantation. Lowcountry Summer is the story of the changing anatomy of a family after the loss of its matriarch, sparkling with the inimitable Dot Frank’s warmth and humor. The much-beloved New York Times bestselling author follows the recent success of Return to Sullivans Island, Bulls Island, and Land of Mango Sunsets with a tale rich in atmosphere and unforgettable scenes of Southern life, once again placing her at the dais, alongside Anne Rivers Siddons, Sue Monk Kidd, Rebecca Wells, Pat Conroy, and other masters of contemporary Southern fiction.

South Carolina charm

loved it! Makes me want to take a trip to Charleston. loved the narrator she gives it the Southern charm.

Loved this one!

I’ve enjoyed this series very much, but this story is one of my favorites. Very good interesting, funny and done sadness too. As always Robin Miles was excellent!

Love narrator and story

Great follow up on these characters . Great book
Narrated per usual so well and inviting.

Good book, terrible performance

The story was great. The person reading the book, however, was obviously not from the South and had not researched her subject matter well at all. The primary problem is that the book takes place on a plantation beside the Edisto River. She pronounces the word Edisto, a word used 100+ times in this novel, incorrectly. She says Ee-dis-to with the accent on the dis. The correct pronunciation is Eh-dis-to, accent on the first syllable. There were several other mispronunciations but that was the one that bothered me. Her accent is also not correctly done. The low country Southern accent is a beautiful language that’s charming and smooth. Hers is a caricature of a Southern accent. Do your research before you screw up the words , please

Great Summer Read

Mrs Franks books always make my summer better>
The lowcountry of S.C. is always one of my favorite vacation spots and even though I didn't get to visit there this year just hearing about it through her words and discriptions made me feel better.
