REVIEW
I remember enjoying this book a few years ago. And, it was a joy. A tale of a woman who falls in love with another woman; who must steer her way through a world of ‘high heels and picket fence diplomacy’. I still recall how well written it was, and how the characters jumped off the page. I remember thinking this was the sort of book most women would find liberating; a sort of call to arms. And, it seems, I was right, for the book went on to win the gold medal in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.
So, of course, when I was asked to listen to the audiobook of this novel , I was delighted. And I'm happy to report, the narrator did a fantastic job. Her reading of the novel is light, relaxing, with perfect intonation at just the right time. There's a sort of whimsical, happy note to her voice that brings so much to this gripping novel. On top of that, the quality of the recording is top notch, and I was able to hear every word - but not every breath; the way it should be.
If you happen to be looking for a gripping story but fancy listening to it on an iPod or in the car on the way to work, I can thoroughly recommend this audiobook. The only problem is, when you get to work, you won't want to get out of the car.
Enjoy!
