Great story

What a moving and great story. First time reading this author, sure won’t be the last. I hope she writes many more novels. This book will not disappoint.

Familiar themes but good story

This book had many familiar themes: dead heroine who died with secrets that must be uncovered, an emotionally closed off man who learns to open up with the help of a good woman, wealthy parents who don’t accept their son’s wife from a very different social class and mistaken paternity. But I loved this story and the characters. Much of the story is around a family of Irish travelers that made the story unique. I appreciated the love stories, one young love and one mature love. They seemed more real than many I’ve listened to. No graphic descriptions of sex but enough to feel the heat. I devoured this book in a day.

The narrator wasn’t great. She didn’t change her tone in any way for the different characters, she just read the book.

Great story

The narration was so bad I almost quit listening by chapter 3. But the story was intriguing so I continued. I hope this will be re-recorded with a good narration.
