Yesterday, I started a readio (read/audio) of "Anna Karenina." I searched #Audible, Hoopla, and Overdrive for a narrator I could listen to for 30 hours. It was one after another high-pitched voice; and I came very close to choosing a male narrator. Then I came across a public domain copy on Kindle that offered the companion audio-read for $1.99. And the female narrator, Maggie Gyllenhaal, is exactly what I was looking for.

Theresa Oh good, I have the one with Maggie G as the narrator. Glad to hear it's a good one. I haven't started it yet. 8y

EvieBee Yes! I love that you can get the audio companion for many classics by buying the cheaply priced kindle book. But her voice is perfect! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute Yes it is, @EvieBee84. Her voice makes for easy listening. And another big draw for me in the companion-read offer is that I don't have to use an audible credit! 🙌🏽 8y
Ncostell That's great to hear (so to speak!) I bought that as well but haven't started listening to it yet. That's a long time to listen to a narrator if you don't enjoy their voice. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute 👉🏽#Ncostell -- The best way I can describe Maggie's narration of AK is it's like listening to a friend's range of emotions as she relays various events. Her voice is lovely. (edited) 8y
