Each way bet
Absolutely loved the story, as usual Di Morrissey created a fabulous journey within the pages. However I hated the narrator, wrong on so many levels, spoilt the whole thing for me. Her phrasing, her intonations left me cold. Any love scene or expressive moment was completely stifled by the hesitant and stiff reading.
