The story of Jericho

Syd Murphy, a librarian, is fleeing from the aftermath of a failed marriage. She has accepted an eighteen-month position in Jericho–a small town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia.

She gets drawn into the daily lives of the remarkable locals and meets Maddie Stevenson. Maddie is an enigmatic physician who has returned to the backcountry community to take over her late father’s medical practice. And so the story begins…

Should you read it?

Let me get straight to the point: I loved this book. I listened to Jericho through Audible and gave it a very close second place in my top 5 best lesbian romance audiobooks for several reasons.

First of all, it’s a long listen or read. You get about 21 hours (or almost 400 pages) of very entertaining lesbian love story to enjoy. This book is great if you want to dream off to a small town and a warm community.

Secondly, Jericho made me laugh out loud many times. The narration is very lively, and makes the book extra funny. Great dialogues and a rich inner life for both characters add to the appeal.

While listening, I paused several times just to tell my wife “This is such a great audiobook!”  You do have to be patient. It’s a long book and things build up slowly. As mentioned before, life in Jericho is slow.

But if you have time, and are ready to smile and enjoy a slow and romantic ride… Start reading Jericho! It will make you smirk, laugh and all warm and fuzzy inside.
