This book was a shock in its time, and I would guess it opened a door for other writers to take those same liberties. Chopin writes so exquisitely that you feel as though you were traveling back to that period with her. If you enjoy the late 1800s, then I would recommend this book. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? OTOH for a really good listen, turn to Diana Gabaldon, Bryce Courtenay, or Alexander Dumas.

He does read clearly and the whole production is quite flawless. The narrator gets the Southern accent nicely, but I never forget he is reading. I remember wanting to shake the man in "Beast in the Jungle" and holler at him, "SHE LOVES YOU, LUNKHEAD!" That said, the story is almost embroidered on silk or painted with watercolors. This story is subtle, somewhat like Henry James. Don't choose it for a fun listen you'll be put to sleep, hardly awakened, with details of drawing rooms and calling cards and removing the hat and so on. However, it will take another listen or two and some background study to appreciate the work better. Being a lit major, I can now say I've listened. I gather this work is important to the women's movement and also as American literature. For a dollar an hour, well, I don't know how they did it so inexpensively, but thank you very much. I paid cash for this when I had no credits.
