This classic we love somehow is better with the performance of this book! Kit’s pain and longing as she adjusts to the harsh New England atmosphere is beautifully portrayed within these pages. I beyond loved this audible performance!! If I could give it a 10, I would!

A Timeless, Beautiful Classic Made Better!

A Good Yarn

I’m 15 years old and haven’t liked reading until now. I listened to the Audible version and read the paperback, following along. It was hard at first, but the performance was very well done and helpful. Ten out of ten and would read it again. I am an audio learner and following along with the audio was very helpful. I think I may use this method often. It was very enjoyable. It was such a great story!
