Dreary Story and Dreary Narrator

I stuck with this audiobook to the end but struggled
The main character was so pliant and unbelievably boring BUT she did take pleasure from small things in her life- which was heartening
Her parents were depicted as loving and kind - which was nice
The narrator’s voice was grating- which made it tough to persist with this audiobook
