cindilm76 's review for:
The Women in the Castle
by Jessica Shattuck
This was just ok for me. I see all the glowing reviews and feel like I read a different book. I had this on my list for over a year, and had bought the Audible version when it was on sale last year, but still couldn't get into it. But it's on my Unread shelf challenge, so I made it a priority. But this book never grabbed me. I didn't get involved in any of the characters lives. Usually I love WWII set historical fiction, just no this one.
I have wondered if Cassandra Campbell was the best choice of narrator for this book. I've listened to many books narrated by her, and she seemed to add an air of chick-lit to the book with her breezy voice, and her attempts at accents was inconsistent. Overall, this was just a huge disappointment. From other reviews, I guess I'm not all on my own with my feelings, but I"m certainly in the minority.
