The male narrator was a change from female narrators I am so used to, he handled all the characters perfectly, (except for the little sister - so s l o w - which drove me mad - not at all like a child ) his Indian accents were excellent and his female voices were great.. I am so sorry to be picky, Joe Jameson, otherwise in my opinion you did an excellent job! I loved the fascinating progression of this story of these two young men. Not only the contrast between them and what their differences resulted in, but It was fast paced, colourful, believable, informative and kept me wanting to listen for hours. Fiona is an excellent story teller and I will be getting more of her books. The ending had a valuable lesson mirroring that we can give without expecting thanks or reward. Ever.

I liked the narrator’s soft style in her Scottish accent speaking either as the male or the female voice. Some female narrators just cannot do the male voice! The flashbacks were paced perfectly in this story, I never felt bored with the plot. I thoroughly enjoyed Faith and feel it’s one of Lesley Pearse’s best. The story will remind us about the power of love, enduring love.

I was captured by this story from beginning to end. The writer held my heartstrings tightly from beginning to end.
