SOUTHERN LADY CODE Essays

Author Helen Ellis is the perfect narrator for her humorous essays. She has just the right inflections and tone for her anecdotes and words of wisdom. Hearing about the decades between the 1980s and the 2010s, listeners are quickly indoctrinated into a world of euphemisms, unusual customs, and genteel hospitality, both in Alabama, where Ellis was raised, and in New York City, where she currently lives. Whether discussing ghosts, birthdays, relationships, or clothing, Ellis draws listeners into her circle as if they were friends eager to catch up on the latest gossip. Listening to SOUTHERN LADY CODE is absolutely the best way to "read" this book. B.S. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2019]
