Review: A Pirate's Heart

A Pirate's Heart - Catherine Friend

I listened to the audiobook but it wasn't listed here and I was too lazy to add another edition.

 

The narrator didn't do the story any favors. No offense meant to the author, who also is the narrator, but it was not good.  I got no emotion from her and her pronunciations on certain things just irked me.

 

The story was decent enough.  It jumped back and forth between the past following Thomasina Farris, a pirate captain and the future following Emma, a librarian who was researching Captain Tommy and her truth of her life, death and buried treasure.  The back and forth was surprisingly not annoying; the author did a good job transitioning between the two stories.

 

It was a lesbian love story in both the past and future and as stated in the narrative, I love a good pirate story, especially when the captain is a woman.    It was the story that kept me going as even putting it to x2.0 speed couldn't help with the narrator's lack of passion in the reading.  Don't think I would get another audiobook if the author narrates; however, I think I would read another of her books.
