About this listen
People Person is a triumph. Caleb Azumah Nelson | Wonderful. Marian Keyes | I loved it. Sara Collins

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE BRITISH BOOK AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF QUEENIE

If you could choose your family, you wouldn't choose the Penningtons

Dimple, Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce are half-siblings who don't have much in common except abandonment issues. But when a catastrophic event forces them to reconnect with each other and with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things start to get complicated fast . . .

People Person is a propulsive story of heart, humour and homecoming, about the true nature of family and the complexities of belonging.©2020 Candice Carty-Williams (P)2020 Orion Publishing Group African American Coming of Age Fiction Genre Fiction Urban Heartfelt

I actually really loved this. The vocal performance was absolutely amazing - each character had a different voice and accent and was distinct during the entire reading - something usually hard to find.

I could hear each character and acknowledge their frustration and feel their indignation and then acceptance of their father. Wonderfully portrayed

This was a very enjoyable read/listen. I loved the structure of the story, and came away with greater understanding of a community which is unfamiliar to me. The narrator was excellent: she managed to make each character both distinct and believable, and further enhanced my enjoyment and appreciation of the narrative. I loved it!

Excellent narration of an excellent story

I enjoyed the story thoroughly. the narration was excellent. I enjoyed how the siblings relationship was explored. I did wonder how easily the antagonist was dismantled and how this could of been deepened just a little bit more. I kinda thought, huh, it was that easy, could that have been done earlier.. hiw ever the sibling relationship really was the forefront of the story so I enjoyed it none the less

loved the book
