Sweetened by Lady Baltimore cake.


(5 stars)

As chance had it, I came across 'Lady Baltimore' soon after listening to Chesnutt's devastating novel 'The Colonel's Dream' Both novels are about visitors to small Southern towns dealing with the changes brought about by reconstruction. While these novels tell very different stories, I found much value in both. There is truth in the telling of both. This was my introduction to Owen Wiston, and I truly enjoyed the softer pacing, which perfectly matched the story told. Excellent reading by Lois Hill

SERENDIPITOUS


(5 stars)

What a wonderful celebration of the last vestiges of gentility. That we have fallen so far from it is depressing. This was my first encounter with Lols Hill; she quickly vaulted to top tier of Librivox readers.

great southern classic


(4.5 stars)

Lovely sweet story From early 1900s about the South during late Reconstruction . Excellent prose and characterization.

Genteel and slower than a southern afternoon


(4 stars)

Beautifully read.
