Tiny Little Thing

De: Beatriz Williams

Narrado por: Kathleen McInerney

In the summer of 1966, Christina Hardcastle—“Tiny” to her illustrious family—stands on the brink of a breathtaking future. Of the three Schuyler sisters, she’s the one raised to marry a man destined for leadership, and with her elegance and impeccable style, she presents a perfect camera-ready image in the dawning age of television politics. Together she and her husband, Frank, make the ultimate power couple: intelligent, rich, and impossibly attractive. It seems nothing can stop Frank from rising to national office, and he’s got his sights set on a senate seat in November.

But as the season gets underway at the family estate on Cape Cod, three unwelcome visitors appear in Tiny’s perfect life: her volatile sister Pepper, an envelope containing incriminating photograph, and the intimidating figure of Frank’s cousin Vietnam-war hero Caspian, who knows more about Tiny’s rich inner life than anyone else. As she struggles to maintain the glossy façade on which the Hardcastle family’s ambitions are built, Tiny begins to suspect that Frank is hiding a reckless entanglement of his own…one that may unravel both her own ordered life and her husband’s promising career.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES. I love every book I've read from Beatriz Williams. The subtle way she links all of her stories together is so interesting!

Oh come on haters! Has TV series written all over it!

Of course this story is silly. Did you think you were about to tackle East of Eden? Assuming a little fantasy and silly or just an easy listen is what you are going for this is great! I can just see these characters a little more developed into a tv show. Yes a cheesy one but a really good one. This author is actually a very good writer. I can’t wait to look into her other
writings.

Great Story

The performance was amazing and the story made me want to keep listening to see what was going to happen next.

Wonderfully written

Wonderfully written and a perfect narration. So many twists and turns it hold your attention from cover to cover

An eerie resemblance to real-life figures

The overall premise and a broad outline of the plot brought to my mind references to real events and figures/characters in American history. Yet, whenever I tried to force either onto this book, the storyline wriggled away, escaping the confines of the real people and real events into which I attempted to put them. This tale is as well written and told as the other books by Ms. Williams that I have thus far read.
Ms. McInerny’s narration is superb.
