About this listen

Warm, insightful and poignant, Freeing Grace tells the story of David, curate of an inner-city parish, and Leila, his Nigerian-born wife. Unable to have children of their own, they're desperate for a family. When they finally hear they've been approved to adopt a baby, Grace, they can scarcely believe their good fortune. There's just one problem for which David and Leila cannot plan: Grace's birth family - the enigmatic, charismatic Harrisons. Enlisting their friend, the feckless, charming New Zealander, Jake Kelly - who's half in love with all of them, one way or another - the Harrisons send him on a quest that will force a confrontation.

Ultimately, each has a terrible decision to make. Everyone only wants what's best for Grace - but who can say exactly what that is?

It’s a good story, well told, if a bit dated. Narration was a fail for me. An Australian woman does not sound the same as a New Zealand man, and some of the English accents were pure caricature, the regional ones wildly inconsistent. Very distracting.

Good story, ruined by narration

Drawn out and boring- I was constantly waiting for the narrator to get to the point! Very disappointed as I have loved other books by this author, eventually stopped listening as I just couldn't stand the drawn out storyline and the drawling voice of the narrator.

Disappointed
