The book played in it's entirety without any problems. However, I didn't find the story to be very interesting. The 1st three or so chapters were slow. I feel that I was being introduced to a lot of characters unnecessarily. Also, I thought the story was going to focus on Nan's struggle to become a doctor. While that was addressed a few times I feel this is more of a general biography of Nan.
key to hearing chapter 9.

I just refused to still this book or to skip chapter 9 so i jumped onto Librivox.com and discovered a typo in the URL. if you are as stubborn, here is the link: http://ia801509.us.archive.org/25/items/a_country_doctor_1504_librivox/countrydoctor_09_jewett_128kb.mp3 that being said, thanks Jeannie for a delightful journey with Nan. Your delivery was so delightful that i listened to done chapters over again, just to relive it.

Set in 19th century New England, Sara Jewett has woven a sweet tale of country life and the transition from early to modern America. Descriptive settings and insights on human nature grace the text. Read with feeling and depth by Jeannie.

Probably a good story and well read but technical difficulties stopped it flowing from one chapter to the next and then I would get the message 'unable to load the book'. Such a shame. Hopefully just a blip. I will try again later.
