THE SCOTTISH BRIDE

Anne Flosnik's crisp British accent shines in a captivating narrative that takes listeners back to early-nineteenth-century England. Widower Tysen Sherbrooke not only inherits a castle in Scotland, he also marries a Scottish bride, Mary Rose Fordyce. Mary Rose's distinct Scottish brogue expresses her unpretentious nature, making her an affable protagonist. Flosnik instills Tysen with a deep, sensual voice, which adds depth and believability to the story's sensual love scenes. Tysen's children have sweet, innocent voices, and their childish tones are tastefully executed--not overdone. The narrator's expertise is shown not only in her ability to portray likable characters, but also in her talented rendition of Tysen's haughty English acquaintances.
