About this listen

 This audiobook includes original music by Meg Bignell and Jude Elliot.

Once in a while, everyone needs to be heard.

Freycinet Barnes has built herself the perfect existence. With beautiful children, a successful husband and a well-ordered schedule, it's a life so full she simply doesn't fit.

When she steps outside her calendar and is accidentally thrown into the generous bosom of the West Moonah Women's Choir, she finds music, laughter, friendship and a humming wellspring of rage. With the ready acceptance of the colourful choristers, Frey learns that voices can move mountains, fury can be kind and life can do with a bit of ruining.

Together, Frey and the choir sing their anger, they breathe it in and stitch it up, belt it out and spin it into a fierce, driving beat that will kick the system square in the balls, and possibly demolish them all.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I feel a lot of that was to do with choosing to listen to the audio book.
As an Australian, this was a very cosy read enhanced by Meg's fantastic narration and familiar Aussie accent. This is a book about a choir with a love of music at its heart. The audio book includes plenty of the songs from the text performed by talented musicians. As a bonus the songs appear in full at the conclusion of the book. Fantastic listening experience :)

This story was wonderful. The performance amazing, I would recommend the way to get the most of the book is through listening to it. Touching, well written, heart rending and even after 13 hours I wanted more. Wonderful treatment of women’s rights. I will be looking for more from Meg Bignell.

I loved everything about this book

I was completely absorbed by this story and the beautifully crafted eclectic group of main characters. Hilarious at times, gut wrenching and sad at others, I was moved and absolutely loved the ride.

Funny, wholesome, beautiful

I really don’t like audiobooks but have been stuck with them due to vision problems. But I thoroughly enjoyed this story - it wound its way around my heart and had me laughing and crying. Thank you Meg for the blessing of this incredible story about community and strong women.
