Mispronunciation. Does it drive you nuts or is it just me?
I've been looking forward to this one for so long and have been saving it for a time when I needed a guaranteed good read. I think that time has arrived.
So I started listening to this on audio and though the narrator is pretty good she keeps mispronouncing Haverhill (it's not Hav-er-hill all proper-like, it's Hayv-rill say it with me in a Boston accent folks). I grew up in Lowell, MA (very close to Haverhill) and this is quickly driving me mad. Just a dumb quirk that most people will never notice but it's bugging the hell out of me.
The story though? It's wonderful so far. This man can write.
