Get this one!

This is by far the best narrator. Excellent voices and pace. I tried all of them and it’s the BEST.

“The best book I’ve ever read”

Anne Blythe is just as gay, beautiful , and dreamy as ever. And Her children’s tricks and speeches are just as gay and amusing as ever. Adventure, and happiness rule supreme, and the great blue gulf is as alluring as ever too. I am comfortably sure that you will love this book from the deeps of your heart.❤️

Well done

Kate Handford did an excellent job of reading this story. The writing was so descriptive that I had a perfect picture of all the characters and the settings.

Every character sounds the same (like a breathy adult woman)

I took a chance on a brand new audible because I liked the narrator’s voice in the sample and thought she would do Anne’s voice nicely. And to some extent she does. However, I am returning this book unfinished because absolutely none of the characters voices are distinguishable! It bothered me in chapter 2 that Susan Baker and Miss Cornelia sounded so much alike, but when Nan Blythe sounded 30 years old and exactly like Miss Susan and everybody else, I decided it must be returned. This is the first time I am giving up before finishing an audiobook, but I can’t endure the narration.
