It's unfortunate that a book that's supposed to be about women reclaiming our confidence and power in middle age is narrated in a breathy half-whisper that sounds like the narrator (the book's author) is scared someone might overhear her, as if she's embarrassed by her own words. I'm not sure I'll be able to continuing listening, as it's so annoying and grating.

Not only is Sarah an engaging author, she's a fantastic narrator!

Why does every author of a baking cookbook assume the people using it will have a "stand mixer with a paddle attachment"? Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't get it because of having a tiny galley kitchen!

Ironic that Tolkien removed mentions of tomatoes from the Hobbit after the first edition as "anachronistic," yet potatoes remain a featured food item and not anachronistic.

Other noticeable mispronunciations: Ephesians (!?!) and aposTle. The T is supposed to be silent! And this word keeps coming up!

I'm only a couple of minutes into the introduction of this audiobook, and the narrator has already mispronounced several words, two of the most egregious being theologian and antecedent. If this continues, I may not be able to finish this book on audio.
