That would be a plus for reading it in physical or digital form instead of the audiobook version.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-55232848612159194972021-10-21T07:59:20.849-07:002021-10-21T07:59:20.849-07:00I've found that, if the narrator annoys me, it...I've found that, if the narrator annoys me, it really slows down my listening speed.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-30325530959936099322021-10-21T07:09:07.477-07:002021-10-21T07:09:07.477-07:00This sounds like an excellent choice for Nonfictio...This sounds like an excellent choice for Nonfiction November! I may get it as an audiobook, but I'm leery of your comments about the narrator. At any rate, I do want to read this one.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-49569917765937961222021-10-21T04:08:34.398-07:002021-10-21T04:08:34.398-07:00I do like a good historical novel, Cathy.
