You can't fault this audible story - brilliantly written (so much so, I had to buy the book at savor it in print and am so glad I did, because visually it's so exciting ...)
And superbly read by James Goode. Poignant, real and so funny in parts. A wonderful surprise listen.

Wonderful!

I've listened to over 70 audiobooks and this is by far one of the best. Performance, and story, the writing, the rich, rich characters. Listened to it again. Even better the second time. So good

Outstanding in every way

Brilliant!!

Wasn't sure how the author would handle such a delicate subject but Bernadine Evaristo has excelled here. Her style of descriptive storytelling is funny and compelling. I loved the entire book but there are some chapters that are absolute gems. This is a book I'd have no problem reasons for a second or third time

A joy to listen to
