Review: Give Me One Summer by Emilie Loring, read by Gabriela Degwitz
The Emilie Loring Romances have been really popular about 80 years ago or so, and I have just finished listening to one of them.
Give Me One Summer by renowned author Emilie Loring has been a best-seller over the years and now with it being available as an audiobook, even more listeners can discover this captivating story about a young and very beautiful girl who has to decide what she will do with her life after her aunt has died and she is left with no other living relative. Her quiet and secure life has ended and she has to make a decision very soon.
Written in a flowing style with talent, this is clearly a classic romance novel that will appeal to many fans of this genre. Filled with characters that feel real, Give Me One Summer is a glimpse into how life was in the early 20th century.
The audiobook version of Give Me One Summer is narrated by Gabriela Degwitz. She reads in her quiet, pleasant tone. She does not change voices from one character to another like some other artists do in order to create a level of immersion for the listener. I’d suggest that you check out the sample and see if you connect with Gabriela’s style. As such, I would not call this a performance, but just a reading. The recording is mostly good, but from time to time you can hear the places where edits have been done and that could be a problem for some audiobooks lovers.
So, if you are in the mood for a classic romance novel, I think that this story will be enjoyable. It is written in an old style, so no intense sex scenes or inappropriate language.
