Since my library offers the audio of Pym's A Glass of Blessings, I decided to try it. Is the dubious Mary Sarah an American, trying for an English accent? At one point she read the word clerk as an American would (not "clark"). However, once used to her I wouldn't call the experience a complete failure, but more "OK, if not great." I feel she does men fairly well. What I thought at first native vocal fry seems to be that she pauses too thoroughly at many commas in text.
