THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING

This audiobook alternates between two eras in Australian history, beginning in 1863, when Michael and Elizabeth Quinn arrive as children from Ireland, and picking up in 1906, when the siblings sponsor orphaned math prodigy Jane Piper in furthering her education. Listeners will appreciate the leisurely pace of the narration as Withoos performs each character with careful attention to their regional accent, a detail that figures significantly in the audiobook's plot. Under the guidance of Withoos, this riveting yet haunting audiobook will linger in the imagination of listeners long after the audiobook is over.
