Plantation

A Lowcountry Tale

By: Dorothea Benton Frank

Narrated by: Susie Breck

When Caroline Wimbley Levine learns that her mother, Miss Lavinia, has supposedly gone mad, she leaves the big city bustle of Manhattan and returns to Tall Pines Plantation. Caroline originally left Tall Pines to escape her feisty, eccentric mother and her drunken brother, Trip, but when Miss Lavinia dies, Caroline is forced to come to terms with her family's troubled history as well as her failing relationship with her husband. As Caroline reminisces about her past rebelliousness and her childhood, she realizes that her father's sudden and tragic death many years before served as a catalyst for the family's disintegration. Caroline and Trip also learn that their seemingly selfish and self-assured mother was not so uncaring after all.©2001 Dorothea Benton Frank (P)2006 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Excellent!

The reader gave an excellent performance! She made me feel as if I were watching each event happen. I would listen to her read any time. She really brought this book to life.

It's Edisto!

I think it is worth listening to but I remember I really loved reading the original book. The narrator does a good job but Edisto, the name of the place where the story takes place is mispronounced. Edisto is the name of a beautiful island in South Carolina and the name of the river. It seems like some of the events and the rich description from the book don't appear in the audible version. That may be because this was an abridged version.

Wonderful all around!

I look for books read by Susie Breck. I've loved all I've found so fast and this one is no exception!

Great book.

I loved this book. Made me laugh and cry. wonderful story. Can't wait to read another of her books. Love the story and how it ended.

The southern accents were perfect.

Best book so far. This book I will never forget. Thank you. 🩷. Highly recommended. It brought me right back to my southern family.
