The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock

Ms. Gowar truly has a lovely writing style and captures different character voices and narrative passages clearly depict scenes. Yet, even the story of a real mermaid was so boring that I stopped listening about 1/3 of the way through. This is such a dull book that it didn't matter that I was listening while at the gym.

However, I give Juliet Stevenson's narration 4 stars; she's a talented film actress who does a wonderful job of capturing each voice and bringing the book to life.
