4 CDs read by the author. So much happens in this small town! Funny and sad. Poignant story about one young woman finding out who she really is and how people really see her. Lots of humorous situations. Great attention to character detail. I feel like I know all the people and I've never been to Virginia or Italy!

A very pleasant listen that got me interested in the whole series!

At first I wasn't sure about listening to this audio CD. It's narrated by the author and she has a decided lisp (sincere comes out as "thinthere") but the story was so enjoyable (the life and times of a 35 year old spinster pharmacist in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia and all of the different quirky people that inhabit Big Stone Gap), that I got used to her voice and actually liked it by Disk 2.
I'm just sorry this was an abridged version because I could have listened to a lot more. I'm looking forward to reading (or listening to if I can get it) the second book in the series. Highly recommended.
