Waring's accents and vocal range are exemplary, with appropriate emotions and pitches to suit each character and situation. Having been forced to marry and have children with this man, Quinn suffers for years. But upon finding her pelt, she runs back to the sea to build a new life. Waring deftly manages the suspense and the many passages of dialogue so well that some listeners will forget that the narrator is just one person.
