I remember reading this post last month, and had to come back and say I just listened to this book and absolutely loved it! I’m in love with Julia Whelan’s narration! She does every character’s voice so uniquely and so well! Ah, so good!

Julia Whelan is pretty big in the narration world. She won a big award this year for her reading of Educated.

In reply to Madeline. I tend to really like memoirs on audio and if the author is also a good narrator, that's a bonus. (Some are terrible.) I'm reviewing another book narrated by Julia Whelan in a few more days and I actually liked that one even more.

In reply to Ann Marie. There was a lot more to the story than just romance. That's why it worked for me.

Wonderful, Susie. This audiobook sounds great for summer. My library doesn’t carry it (argh) but I’ve recommended it so hopefully they’ll buy it pronto — as well as the Charlotte Walsh book. Whelan sure narrates a lot of books … the last ones I heard her do were Fates & Furies and Since We Fell.

I’ve finally gotten into audio books … a little anyway. But I’ve had the best luck with memoirs narrated by their authors (Alan Cumming’s Not My Father’s Son is terrific), but this sounds like it might hit my target too.

I have learned that a good narrator is critical. I’ve listened to a couple of samples that, in less than a minute, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hang with “that voice!”

I don’t do a lot of audio but this will go on my short list. Thanks!

This is the second review of this I read today. I’ve been trying to decide between audio and print … perhaps audio is the way to go. Put me in the Whelen fan club!

I contemplated listening to this one because I, like you, love Julia Whelen. I’m not one for too much romance though so I ended up choosing something else. Still contemplating it though.
