JUST REWARDS

Linnet O'Neill, great-granddaughter of Emma Harte, continues the family saga when she returns from her honeymoon filled with tantalizing ideas to renovate the family business. The large cast of characters that make up the fourth generation of Harte women is difficult to follow, but name cues, such as "great aunt" and "great-great-great-grandfather," help. Narrator Kate Burton is a solid fit for these English and North American characters, who have a variety of accents. She captures the tension within the family and excels at portraying wicked Angharad, an adopted sister with a threatening manner and condescending voice. For those who follow the Harte stories, this won't disappoint. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 06]
