KJ - Coming Home -Audiobook Review

5 Stars for the book, 5 Stars for the narrator, Ruth Guice

I already wrote a Goodreads review for the ebook in Apr 2020, so I won't give an in-depth review. In short this book is about a famous American actress, Abigail Taylor who brings her 9 year old daughter, Grace to Melbourne, Australia. She hires a gifted teacher, Samantha (Sam) Markson to be her daughter's teacher and because of Abby's long hours to essentially be a live-in nanny for the few months of their visit. Sam not only teaches Grace academics but also takes her around Melbourne to museums and galleries. After listening to this book, I've decided that Sam is one of my favorite Lesfic characters. She's a tall, attractive Australian Mary Poppins/Maria Von Trapp all rolled into one, minus the singing.

I don't know where K.J. found the Australian voice actress, Ruth Guice but I hope she uses her again in her next audiobook. As far as I could tell this is Guice's first audiobook. Her American accent is well done. I liked her distinctive voices for each of the characters from the Americans, the sexy, deep voice of Abby and the young 9 year old Grace to the Aussies such as Sam and her BFF, Cath. I was also impressed with her distinctive narrative voice such that there is no confusion with the character's voices. Her acting (as opposed to just reading) was excellent and not overly done.
