THE BRONTE PLOT

Audiobook enthusiasts of Victorian literature will love hearing this romantic story of a Chicago vintage bookseller, Lucy, who ends up in love and tours literary haunts in the English Lake District with her lover's grandmother. Lucy primarily has a Midwestern accent but sometimes uses English phrases and pronunciations because her deadbeat father was English. Creating the perfect rendition of Lucy seems to come effortlessly to narrator Laura Kirman, who is skilled at voicing both English and American parts. No bleeding corpses in his narrative, just flawed characters righting wrongs and communing with literary Victorians. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
