CHASING BEAUTY by Natalie Dykstra, read by Maggi-Meg Reed Behind the Mic with AudioFile Magazine

The privileged world of the spirited Isabella Stewart Gardner is aptly captured by the patrician voice of narrator Maggi-Meg Reed. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss this fascinating biography by Natalie Dykstra.
