Have you listened to any of Susan Duerden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I almost didn't give this book a try because of the negative reviews about the narrator. However I really like her voice and think she does a fine job with this book.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 16
From southern Greece to northern Russia, people have long believed in female spirits, bringers of fertility, who spend their nights and days dancing in the fields and forests. So appealing were these spirit-maidens that they also took up residence in 19th-century Romantic literature. Archaeologist and linguist by profession, folk dancer by avocation, Elizabeth Wayland Barber has sleuthed through ethnographic lore and archaeological reports of east and southeast Europe, translating enchanting folktales about these "dancing goddesses" as well as eyewitness accounts of traditional rituals - texts that offer new perspectives on dance in agrarian society.

Difficult

What disappointed you about The Dancing Goddesses?
Barber is one of my favorite authors writing about myth, history and anthropology. But the narration is very very difficult to listen to. As much as I am fascinated by the content, I've tried to get through this and the narration just is too distracting.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Cross-cultural comparisons
What didn’t you like about Julia Farhat’s performance?
Read without expression. It is easier to listen to "text-to-speech" than this.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Very disappointed. I'd planned to make a quilt while listening to this and will have to find a different title.
Any additional comments?
Please have someone else record Barber's book "Women's Work"
