However, the longer I listen, the more the story pulls me in. Ms. McCaddon's narration remains wonderful, even though this isn't the sort of book that really calls for much from the narrator. There are no "voices" required, no actual dialog. Each chapter is basically a standalone story, written in much the same style as a letter might be. Recommended.

Thanks, Charlie! I'll get to this, definitely. I share your opinion of Wanda May and I think the Victorians really lend themselves to being listened to.
Along those lines, in regard to Sharpe, I should have added that Patrick Tull's narration was terrific. While, as you know, my heart belongs to Simon Vance when it comes to Aubrey/Maturin, now I think I've got the best of both worlds. I suspect Frederick Davidson, another in my pantheon, will be equally good when I get to him.
