Accents were a problem

Would you consider the audio edition of September to be better than the print version?

I have never read the print version, but I had listened to an earlier audio version on cassette tapes. The narration of the earlier audiobook was much better.

What other book might you compare September to and why?

All of the Pilcher books are great. They are favorites we listen to while traveling.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jilly Bond?

Donada Peters would have been a better choice. Better accents, better pace.

If you could rename September, what would you call it?

September pretty much says it.

Any additional comments?

The narrator of this book was great with standard British accents. When she did men, older Scottish women, and children, her voice was harsh and unpleasant.

A breath of Scotland in a lovely story

This author never disappoints, but is a master crafter of character, setting, and story. The weave of it allowing you time to get to know the people & the place, to care, to relate & to understand their humanness.

I loved the story and will be seeking out others.

Good story, inferior narrator

I enjoy Rosamunde Pilcher’s stories, but don’t understand why such a mediocre narrator (Jilly Bond) was chosen to read her books. I suffered through, but a better narrator makes a good story great. They missed an opportunity here.

My favorite of all time!

Just a great all around story! If you don’t immediately fall in love Henry then, well, I don’t know. I loved this book so much that I immediately listened to it again! Heard so much more second time through. Really enjoyed the narration, the author knew her characters.

Can’t imagine anyone not loving this book!

Perfection

I loved every moment of this book. The ups and downs, the twists and turns.
Rosemond Pilcher sure know how to tell a story. No wonder this is one of my aunt’s most favorite.
