Music was not necessary

I love the stories by Anna Rivers Siddons. I feel as if I know her
Characters She breathes life into them and the narrator is excellent. The only negative about the Audible version is the music between chapters - not only not necessary but ruins the flow of the story.

Wonderful audiobook

Have listened to this several times. One of my favorites.
Wish i knew who the artist was for the wonderful jazz music before each chapter.

A good rendition

This narrator does an excellent job with a very good story. She was able to switch between accents smoothly and convincingly. My one criticism is that the musical interludes in between chapters were unexpected and jarring and out of character with the tone of the story. They added nothing and were, for me, a distraction from an excellent story.

A wreck

This story is like a train wreck of grief and impending loss you cannot look away from. It lures you with the island and then tells a story of isolation, with brief glimpses of Vineyard community. Good southern accents. No Island accents. Just grief, haunted by misunderstanding, with mild relief at close.

Shorty but very entertaining

I liked the story. Sometimes made me wish I could escape to a totally different life. I would recommend this to other older women who have had be upended at one time in their life or another. I laughed, shed a few tears and reflected on my own life now and again. A quick 'read', loved the narrator . What I did not care for was the loud harsh music blared at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Very annoying

Wonderful story and narrator!

I love Anne Rivers Siddons novels as a rule and this one was no exception. I laughed, I cried and was totally invested in these characters.

The narrator was wonderful and captured all the voices and personalities extremely well.

The only pet peeve I have with the recording is the music, it became a little annoying, but otherwise I absolutely enjoyed this book,

I highly recommend it to everyone! Enjoy!

I love this book!

I have heard this book before and loved it just as much the second time. The characters are believable and loveable and I shall miss them. I only wish there was a sequel. It is a story of a woman whose life is suddenly devastated, her journey for fulfillment, and those relationships she acquired along the way. The reader does a great job and adds to the personality of the characters.

Great story and narration but awful music

Any additional comments?

The transition music between chapters does not fit and is very distracting when you are getting into the book.
