KARITAS UNTITLED

Unfolding in the early years of the last century, the plot of this audiobook transports listeners to Iceland, and the destination is as interesting as one might expect. Karitas is a young woman who shares her rather desperate coming-of-age experiences; her dreams are focused on one day becoming an artist. Anita Briem offers a decent performance. Her pace is somewhat uneven and often too brisk, especially as listeners try to discern one character from another. Sometimes that pace is accompanied by a lack of clarity, as well, with enunciation becoming imprecise or volume suddenly dropping too low. The story develops slowly, so dedicated listeners will have no trouble following along--it's just a matter of how patient those listeners are.
