Book description

Frédéric Chopin, Georges Bizet, Edith Piaf, Maria Callas, Isadora Duncan, Eugène Delacroix, Gertrude Stein, Amedeo Modigliani, Sarah Bernhardt, Simone Signoret, Colette and Marcel Proust.

I'm impressed by ListenBook's ability to extract artwork and metadata automatically. Sharing audiobooks with friends is a thoughtful gesture that ListenBook makes seamless. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
