Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Hardacre (Hardacre Family Saga)
CL Skelton · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Justine Eyre
76/100
👍 Worth It
A sweeping six-decade family saga that critics really do rave about — 'the best family saga since Penmarric' is no small compliment — and it's meaty enough to have spawned its own TV series. It's a long, dense read across two world wars, so go in for the long haul rather than a quick listen. Justine Eyre narrates for Tantor, though I couldn't turn up specific reviews of her performance here.
