THE DRESS SHOP OF DREAMS

Jennifer Carr steadily narrates a story about love and its many paths. While the audiobook is short on dialogue, Carr's British charm weaves together the seemingly separate stories of a small community that converge after an unlikely series of events. Carr changes her pace beautifully to convey the transformation of Cora from an indifferent academic to a passionate young woman who is ready to take chances and to solve problems more complex than those in the classroom. Listeners can lose themselves in this simple but enjoyable story, thanks to Carr's solid narration. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2015]
