About this listen

"Pete, look mate, I'm sorry but there's no easy way to say this. Lydia's dying."

These are the words Peter Mackenzie wakes up to on a chilly March morning in 2012. Over the next 48 hours, his life is thrown into chaos, catapulting him into the decision to leave the UK and return to Australia, the country from which he was exiled 30 years earlier. The opportunity to see Lydia, his mother, one last time means confronting his family, friends, and the community of Lazarus that he abandoned as a teenager.

Lazarus Remembered is a powerful family drama that explores the challenges within non-traditional family structures. A story about secrets and lies, love and loss, reinvention and redemption, but most of all about how the pressure to conform to society’s expectations can tear lives apart.

This book is 6 star. The combination of music and audio gives a whole new dimension. The story was fantastic and I did not see the end coming despite very detailed scenes, which all made sense. All the hints were there and obvious in hindsight. It was very easy to take in. The music was very clever and set the mood. I couldn't put it down. Well done!

Lazarus Remembered put me in mind of BBC radio shows with sound effects, but having a soundtrack made it a unique experience. Everything flowed together nicely.

The story is family saga in all its dysfunctional, complex best with a twist at the end many might see but I didn't and so it smacked me right in the heart. It made so much sense looking back, but it did make me want to play it all back again to see if there were any other hints. Can't say more as it'd be a spoiler.

An all round amazing experience
