A beautiful Story


(5 stars)

A beautiful story, by LM Alcott. Marina read the tale with such a variety of voices for the many characters and a sublime singing voice. I didn't want the story to end.

Eight Cousins, wonderfully read


(5 stars)

A delightful book, read by a thoroughly enjoyable narrator. The book has closed, and I am now hoping Ms. Marina has brought her considerable talent to A Rose In Bloom.

Good and amusing story

One of the best!!

This book is so wonderful. Well written, beautiful story, and lovely characters. As for the reader, SHE IS AMAZING! The accent, the different voices for the different characters… not to mention she actually sings beautifully for the lyric parts. This book and Louisa May Alcott will always be some of my favorites, and I can’t wait to hear more from this reader!

amazing narrator

I love this reading of eight cousins so much. the narrator puts such feeling into the characters and has a singing voice to do Phoebe justice.

Great book!
