About this listen

C H Clepitt has a knack for creating real, relatable characters who face adversity with humor and humanity, and Curtain Call is no exception.

When an assistant to the director role turns into PA to her favourite film star, Jen can’t believe her luck. Eleanor Francis is charming, kind, and funny, but she has a secret, and when tragedy strikes, things threaten to unravel at an uncontrollable pace. Despite being out of her depth, Jen has to adapt to her new role quickly, to protect Eleanor, with whom she is rapidly falling in love.

This is a sweet, understated story that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. If you’ve enjoyed C H Clepitt’s other books then this is not to be missed.

'Curtain Call' is a touching and poignant story of a young woman named Jen finding her way in her first real theatre job, in the drama that unfolds backstage between theatre staff and performers. It is quite uniquely styled and very engaging in its humour, but also provides well-constructed moments of pathos that really move the reader and involve them more deeply in the story.

Any keen reader of Clepitt's work knows that it is wise to expect the unexpected. The plot of 'Curtain Call' is original and the cast of characters are all remarkably quirky and incredibly normal at the same time, yet the story is highly relatable to anyone who has experienced the crushing anxiety of not knowing what to do in a new job or wishing they knew exactly where they stood in their relationships. The overall effect is one of the reader feeling as though they have made a new group of friends that they might easily bump into tomorrow while picking up a coffee in town.

The audiobook runs for 3 hours and 15 minutes. The narration is clear and enjoyable, with good use of voice and characterisation to bring the characters and the story alive. The narrator's voice is pleasant and easy to listen to, so the whole listening experience was a pleasure.

Excellent!
