I am about half-way through this audiobook but I think far enough along to make a short review. First, the reader, Anna Stone. I have learned and remarked in other reviews that the person who puts text to voice and words can be either a reader, a narrator or, in very rare instances, a performer. Most audiobooks fall in the first two categories, the narrator preferable over the reader. Unfortunately, Ms, Stone's style is that of a reader.
Over the years, Anita Shreve has always been a decent summer read in book form. Neither brilliant nor talentless, her books tell a fairly good tale in a pleasing way. This one is no different. All in all, it's easy listening for a long drive and I give it 3.5 stars.
