FIVE SIBLINGS AT 23

De: Paul Ilett

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Every family has secrets, but some have more than others.

On Charlie Fletcher’s 23rd birthday, he decides to tell his dying mother that he’s gay. Knowing she does not have much time left, she shares a secret in return. But it’s a far greater family secret, one that will have repercussions for Charlie and his siblings for years to come.

The Fletchers are a family with more than their fair share of skeletons in the closet, and as one of their most closely guarded secrets is finally revealed, are others about to be uncovered too?

What is so important about a photograph of a little boy at Christmas?

Why has a handwritten letter remained in a sealed envelope for more than twenty years?

And which of the Fletchers is carrying the darkest family secret of all?

From their hometown of Southend-on-Sea, to the sunny vistas of Gran Canaria, Five Siblings at 23 is an epic tale spanning more than two decades, visiting the family each time one of the Fletcher children is 23 years old. Through the years, we follow their joys and heartbreaks, their successes and tragedies, as all five of the brothers and sisters discover some secrets must never be shared.

Robotic reading is not what I expected from audible

Enjoyed the book but not the robotic reading which was very disappointing. If I had known the reading would not be a human I would not have bought the book.

Good story but…

I enjoyed the story. The generations of characters. But the virtual voice made it almost hard to listen to.

Performance lacking-you need real live voice

Good, long book. The auto voice was not bad, but real is soooo much better
