The poor pronunciation of the narrator made it difficult to enjoy the brilliant author’s stories

Why cannot the audio company ensure a narrator with sufficient education to be able to pronounce words correctly? He mangles common French phrases

When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition. As death reaches into every household and villagers turn from prayers to murderous witch-hunting, Anna must find the strength to confront the disintegration of her community and the lure of illicit love.

I stopped listening: terrible reader

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Please DO NOT let authors read. I had to give up listening, as she has a terrible, boring voice.
What didn’t you like about Geraldine Brooks’s performance?
Plodding, boring, no change of inflexion. A great writer, but keep her away from the mike....
