Very good story, narrator/ recording is horrific

I’ve enjoyed most of David Adams Richards writing. The details and perspective are true to the area and are easily shared by all who are from the area. This was the one book I had not read and thought it was better listened to; however, to be fair to the content and author it truly needs to be read again by another narrator with consistency and flow. The recording is choppy, dreadful flow, poor emphasis, and inconsistent annunciations. The local place names have been slaughtered.
Surely a Giller Prize winning book deserves much better.
