Short and sweet

Would you listen to 'Tis Herself again? Why?

Yes, in a couple of months. Bite sized audio can get me through the day. Listened to this because I enjoyed previous audio by same author/narrator

WONDERFULLY WRITTEN AND READ!

If you could sum up 'Tis Herself in three words, what would they be?

Great story collection!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved all the short stories, it takes real talent to tell a good story in a short amount of time...

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked them all, but I really liked the wife and husband who had been married forever and she just lived her on life because her husband was never there for her...

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

ALL of these stories are wonderfully read and narrated, a sneak peak into everyday life of ordinary people...the secrets we keep and hopes we have...it was wonderful!

Short Story Collection of Everyday Life

'TIS HERSELF was a collection of short stories about family situations that many people find themselves in, in everyday life. This was an easy to listen to audiobook albeit rather bland. One story had a funny scene when she threw out his (Bob's) fishing gear to make more room.

I didn't really laugh or cry, but I found this to be a relaxing book. There was nothing heavy. I think it was a good collection of family issues though. I'd listen to more audiobook by VALERIE ALLEN.

SHEILA CAVALETTE did a fine job narrating these stories. She had a nice tone with good voice inflections. I'd also listen to more from her in the future.

Short Stories That Most Can Relate To

This is a really eclectic group of stories told from the perspective of a town. As I have lived in a small town most of my life, I found myself able to relate to the publisher's description "the small and the not so small events in the lives of ordinary people."

The book contains every day events, like a parent caring for the pet that the child HAD TO HAVE [promising to care for every aspect] if they would just let him get him.

Another is the story of the a drunken husband who gets another woman (not his wife) pregnant and so on – funny, serious, tragic… This book has them all.

The narration was perfect for the material. Sheila Cavalette is a professional.

This is not a book I would normally experience. *I received it in exchange for my review. Others may enjoy this immensely – as it is well written & performed. However, my current interest is with fictitious novels and not short stories.

Notes: nothing to warn about regarding language or themes.
