Wonderful original story

Charming story. I think this would make a lovely movie. The narration is quite good in terms of portraying the characters’ emotions, but falls down on the American accents, which is a slight pity. Well read, however, and really doesn’t detract from the story itself.

Lovely story

I am in awe of the author's writing ability, her brilliant way of telling a story, and the fantastic way she brought each character to life. The way she weaved those characters together, without missing a beat or leaving any questions unanswered was brilliant, so much so I don't want this story to end. I don't even want to look for a new book to listen to at the moment, I just want to sit here and stay with these characters a while longer. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. It's a must-read for sure!

I don't want this to end...
