I’m told she employs a remarkable number of voices for this large cast of characters. For the more faint-hearted, you may want to invest in the audiobook narrated by Amanda Plummer (whom you may remember as Honey Bunny from Pulp Fiction and the axe-murder in So I Married an Axe Murderer). Although daunting, I’m glad that we undertook the challenge.
