About this listen

It's hard being that woman, the one whose husband disappeared. He went out five years ago for a pint of milk and never came back. So here I am with a daughter who blames me for everything, a son trying his best to pick up the pieces and a gaggle of neighbours who are incredibly nosy. Then I find a left luggage ticket in the pocket of one of his old coats and suddenly I'm thinking... What if he's not dead? What if he's still out there somewhere?

Generally I enjoyed the way the plot developed, but I thought there was too much detail in Danny’s part of the story which became rather boring.

Too much detail

The first half of the novel was great. Funny, page turner. However part two was slow and didn't seem to get going.

Lost its way a little

This book comes to life through the brilliance of the narrators. I have never heard better. The story was intricate but (to me) utterly believable, I am totally in awe of its inventor and eager to read more by him. The characters will never leave me and I will forever wonder what became of them.

The Perfect Book For Me

Was not to sure when I first started listening, however turned out to be a good book to listen to whilst driving. a bit of everything in there. I was a bit disappointed with the ending which appeared to be cut short, unless of course there is going to be a sequel. All in all really enjoyed the audio book.
