Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary’s fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious 12-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.

I loved the story, but I didn't like the narration as much as I would have hoped.

Twenty-one-year-old narcoleptic Angel Duet knows her father harbors secrets. He loves and protects her, but his suspicious refusal to discuss her mother's death drives Angel to worship an image created from the little history she does have: her father's sketchy stories and her mother's treasured photography, studies of clouds that have hung in the their foyer for more than twenty years. When her father's girlfriend moves in, the photographs come down, and Angel's search for truth becomes an obsession.

Well Written and Moving Story!

What made the experience of listening to Aberrations the most enjoyable?
The narration was excellent! The narrator really brought the story to life without sounding corny or rehearsed. It helped me connect with each character as I was listening.
What other book might you compare Aberrations to and why?
Personally, I would not compare this novel to any other books I have read. Aberrations is a very unique novel and I have not read any other like it.
What about Rebecca Roberts’s performance did you like?
I like that she really gave the characters personality. She changed voices and tones depending on which character was speaking. She was dynamic without being too drastic. She spoke steadily, clearly, and at a good pace.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I was not able to listen to it in all one sitting, but I think I could have. It would be wonderful for a long car trip or flight because it is entertaining enough that I could listen to it all in one go. The story kept me wondering what would happen next!
Any additional comments?
On the actual novel itself, I have to say that Penelope did an amazing job. The way she uses words to paint a picture for the audience is incredible. It got me emotionally vested in the story, and I felt I could actually feel what the main character was feeling. The story is unique but easy to relate to all at the same time.
