THE VIOLET HOUR A Lowcountry Tale

Benton Frank continues her saga of the Adams family of South Carolina's Lowcountry. Shy, introverted Violet Adams finds herself in a shaky frame of mind now that she and her boyfriend have broken up. At the same time, her best friend, Aly Knox, moves to the Lowcountry after the loss of her mother. Mia Hutchinson-Shaw doesn't give Violet a trace of the Lowcountry accent. Aly, a Midwesterner, is believably voiced by Stephanie Einstein. Janet Metzger gives Grandmother Rose an appropriately elderly voice. Big sister Maggie, portrayed by Megan Tusing, sounds strong and confident as she takes the Knox family restaurant into its fourth generation. Sadly, with inconsistent Southern accents, this audiobook will disappoint those looking to hear the authenticity of its South Carolina setting.
