Lowcountry Summer

A Plantation Novel

By: Dorothea Benton Frank

Narrated by: Robin Miles

“Frank…writes with genuine adoration for and authority on the South Carolina Lowcountry from which she sprang….[Her] stuff is never escapist fluff—it’s the real deal.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Return to Tall Pines in the long-awaited sequel to Dorothea Benton Frank’s beloved bestseller Plantation. Lowcountry Summer is the story of the changing anatomy of a family after the loss of its matriarch, sparkling with the inimitable Dot Frank’s warmth and humor. The much-beloved New York Times bestselling author follows the recent success of Return to Sullivans Island, Bulls Island, and Land of Mango Sunsets with a tale rich in atmosphere and unforgettable scenes of Southern life, once again placing her at the dais, alongside Anne Rivers Siddons, Sue Monk Kidd, Rebecca Wells, Pat Conroy, and other masters of contemporary Southern fiction.

Love narrator and story

Great follow up on these characters . Great book
Narrated per usual so well and inviting.

South Carolina charm

loved it! Makes me want to take a trip to Charleston. loved the narrator she gives it the Southern charm.

Loved this one!

I’ve enjoyed this series very much, but this story is one of my favorites. Very good interesting, funny and done sadness too. As always Robin Miles was excellent!

Great Summer Read

Mrs Franks books always make my summer better>
The lowcountry of S.C. is always one of my favorite vacation spots and even though I didn't get to visit there this year just hearing about it through her words and discriptions made me feel better.

Disappointing twist of events.

I can't help but wonder why the author went in the direction that she did to kill off Rusty and gave Tripp stay with his crazy estranged wife.

Doesn't disappoint

The performance is excellent and as always the story is a charming tale of the southern way things are: both genteel and real.

Love this series

I love this series. One of my favorite books of the low country series. Narrator is awesome!

Wonderful

This is another great listen from Frank. I couldn't wait to listen to the audio each day as I drove my commute. Robin Miles as Narrator was excellent. I highly recommend this audio.

Not my favorite

This is the first book by the author that I didn't care for. The handling of the sister-in-law was rather unrealistic and disappointing.

get a southerner without the havard accent....

Where does Lowcountry Summer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

LOVE DBF.. I relate to her books so well, to the point of writing my own book and having it published, but the narrator.. get a southerner. get one who doesn't throw her "yankee" around and make the main character sound snobbish.

What didn’t you like about Robin Miles’s performance?

yankee trying to talk southern.. not buying it.
