About this listen

 The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton arrive in the North Carolina mountains to create a timber empire, vowing to let no one stand in their way, especially those newly rallying around Teddy Roosevelt's nascent environmental movement.

Yet when Serena begins to suspect that George's allegiances may lie elsewhere, she unleashes her full fury on the young mountain woman who bore his illegitimate child the year before. Rash's masterful balance of violence and beauty yields a powerfully riveting story that, at its core, tells of love both honored and betrayed.

This story was excellent. The reader was TERRIBLE. He managed to make the female protagonists sound breathy and pathetic. Totally spoiled the narrative.

I found it quite difficult to stay focused. The characters are many and confusing, at times, knowing who is who. I did like the way Serena and Pemberton were portrayed.
Listened to the end, but could have easily not have finished.

Not bad, but not great
