Second Chances

De: A.E. Radley

Narrado por: Kim Bretton

Bad childhood memories start to resurface when Hannah Hall’s daughter Rosie begins school. To make matters more complicated, Hannah has been steadfastly ignoring the obvious truth that Rosie is intellectually gifted and wise beyond her years.

In the crumbling old school, she meets Rosie’s new teacher, Alice Spencer, who has moved from the city to teach in the small coastal town of Fairlight.

Alice immediately sees Rosie’s potential and embarks on developing an educational curriculum to suit Rosie’s needs, to Hannah’s dismay.

Teacher and mother clash over what’s best for young Rosie.

Will they be able to compromise? Will Hannah finally open up to someone about her own damaged up bringing?

And will they be able to ignore the sparks that fly whenever they are in the same room?

Second Chances

This was a touching story of a young single mother with a young but precocious daughter entering her first year of school. Hannah has always felt like an outcast and has no friends other than her boss Adrian. She believes everyone looks down on her. She always sees the worst in people so when her daughter starts school, she worries about how Rosie will fare. Alice is an experienced teacher who just moved to the district. She quickly gets to know her students and colleagues, for good or bad.

Kim Bretton did a fine job of narrating, bringing out the emotions of the main characters. There are many characters but I was never confused about which one was speaking (or thinking). I finished this over 2 days and never felt lost or confused as to which character was saying or feeling whatever. It was an entertaining and engrossing story.

Excellent audiobook

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The novel is very well written and the narrator did an excellent job of communicating the complex emotions of the characters
