Excellent

I liked this story, the reader was super. I listen in my vehicle, so was excited to go for a drive😁

One of my favorites by Maeve Binchy!

I own most of Binchy's books and reread them every few years. This book precedes another favorite, "Quentins". Why hasn't it been recorded?? Binchy is a masterful storyteller and develops her characters so well that I feel I know them. "Quentins" finishes the story and I want an audio copy of it.

Binchy at Her Best

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

I say they are equal, both are worth having.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ohhhh I love the twins and Cathy, they kept me invested.

What does Barbara Caruso bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She gives depth to some of the voices and speech patterns that I would never have come up with.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I always love when Cathy realizes she loves the odd twins and is willing to fight for them even though her husband who is their blood relation will not.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book, I consider a great gateway that will lead you into Maeve Binchy's world. And all the people who make it up charm the heck out of you or make you want to punch them in the face.

Narrator

Pleasant story
The narrator has a delightful voice, easy on the ears, but not good modulation from character to character such that it can be hard to know who is speaking.
