Little Women
Louisa May Alcott · 1868
Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, and with their father away at the war, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March make the best of a lean winter. Sisterly banter, firelight, a frozen walk to feed a poorer family, and a New Year's dance where Jo meets the boy next door.

Four sisters by the fire on a grey December evening, and a letter from the front.

Not read aloud. Performed.
This is Peech Immersive, our proprietary audiobook technology. It reads the whole book before it records a word, then casts, directs and sound-designs it the way a studio would, and delivers the finished audiobook in a day.
Every character has a voice of their own
Leads and one-line walk-ons alike, of any age, background or accent. Each one is auditioned, cast and kept for the whole book.
Directed line by line
Who is speaking, to whom, and how they feel: a whisper across the table, a shout down the quay, a laugh caught halfway through a sentence.
A soundscape for every scene
Rooms, streets and weather are designed from the text, with every door, hoof and glass timed to the word. The voices always lead.
