I liked the selections, certainly, and the narrators were well-chosen. I canot think of a single or slightly negative aspect of this title.

Historia
This Audible Exclusive production revisits Charles Dickens’ tragi-comic novel Little Dorrit. Written during the Crimean War, it a story of fortunes won and lost and a masterly portrayal of the failings of Victorian Society, with the ever-present spectre of law enforcement and imprisonment looming over a fearful population. Divided into two parts, Book One: Poverty and Book Two: Riches, Little Dorrit satirises the debtors prisons and the detrimental effect of enforcing a British class system.

Little Dorrit, a masterpiece, is now my preferred Dickens' work. The characters are unsurpassed in their depth as the story unfolds deliciously.
The narration is utterly superb.
Three cheers to Audible for a worthwhile and completely enjoyable experience once again!
Many thanks.

The stories are so interesting...
I was sad when this book finished.
I wish she'd have written 4x longer than she
has in this title.
The narration was superb, as usual, Audible.
Thank you for the great selection of books! 💙

Biddy Weir is a quirky girl. Abandoned by her mother as a baby, and with a father who's not quite equipped for the challenges of modern parenting, Biddy lives in her own little world, happy to pass her time painting by the sea and watching the birds go by. That is, until she meets Alison Flemming. Because there are a few things about Biddy that aren't normal, you see. And Alison isn't afraid to point them out to the world. All of a sudden, Biddy's quiet life is thrown into turmoil. If only there was someone to convince her that, actually, everyone's a little bit weird....

The Lonely Life Of Biddy Weir
Revisado: 08-10-20
This is a thoughtful, sensitive and extremely well-narrated and produced version of a sad, but hopeful, really lovely story.
There are moments when the reader can't imagine where the story is going, but the epilogue is uniquely perfect. I adored the protagonist and her eventual adult friends.
I'm sorry to have finished the book, because I'll miss Biddy Weir ... an unforgettable main character.
I recommend this book to those of us sensible enough to uphold the dignity of every being.

Historia
When at 42, the obese, anxious, and gentle Henry Soames marries seventeen-year-old Callie Wells - who is pregnant with the child of a local boy - it is much more than years which define the gulf between them. But the beauty of this audiobook is the gradual revelation of the bond that develops as this unlikely couple experiences courtship and marriage, the birth of a son, isolation, forgiveness, work, and death in a small Catskill community in the 1950s. The plot turns on tragic events - they might be accidents

Good story & storytelling.
Revisado: 07-23-20
I enjoyed this story from a farming area in
upstate New York. The characters become very real and endear themselves to the reader.
John Garner was quite a good storyteller, kind and smart. Going to read his other work, "Sunlight Dialogues" now.
Thank you for the terrific audiobook narration.
