Enchanting tales and depiction of English life and visits to London woven with natural quirkiness and ambivalences of emotions and experiences. It would help the listener somewhat if the reader were in less of a hurry to get to the end of the sentences and had a more open diction. For me words were sometimes lost but the gist could be generally made out.

A Light Sweet Story

(4 Sterne)

Easy listening Travelodge. Reader has a few unusual phrasing, but is clear enough once the ear adapts. Thanks as always to volunteer readers.
