Deliciously Descriptive
Revisado: 05-03-20
This is an empowering story of a 19yo woman in 1889 facing pressure to marry well after the family’s financial losses in the Great Seattle Fire. But she puts aside her family’s pressures of marriage for her own dreams and destiny of becoming the first woman to climb Mount Rainier. Her ambitions may lose her inheritance and possible suitors, but she could pioneer the way for other female mountaineers and make a name for herself.
This audiobook was such an easy listen for me! McGillen’s writing is so deliciously descriptive and the story is powerful and inspirational. The narrator of this audiobook does an amazing job easing the listener through this journey, and her various accents are subtle but distinguished. I was completely immersed in the writing: I could taste the smoke in my throat, feel the wind in my hair, and imagine her journey. McGillen shows off not only her creative writing, but her imaginative poetry skills as well.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

This book was a thrill to listen to, and did not leave anything for the wanting. I will recommend this book again and again!
Narrator was a bit distracting in her normal voice at the beginning, but her characters were spot on!
