Fantastic narration!

The narration here really brought this story to life; wholly believable, distinctive characters are created and maintained throughout. Not a bad storyline either! Well done Ella Lynch &
A.E.Radley.

enjoyable and not my usual choice.

I quite enjoyed this book despite it being different to the usual kind of books I read/listen too, it was a well written with some nice dialogue and characterization between the two main characters. The narration brought the characters out of their shell more and I really enjoyed the softly spoken Rebecca and accent given to Arrebella, I really enjoyed Ella lynch's narration style and will look out for her in the future.

Such an enjoyable listen!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were so true to life and their ‘journey’ both literal and emotional was a joy to follow.
Ella Lynch’s narration was just lovely and really brought the story to life. Characters were easily distinguishable and I couldn’t stop listening. I will definitely look out for more by this Author and this Narrator.

Average story but brilliant narration!

For a story in which not that much actually happened it felt quite long but I didn't mind because I was narrated brilliantly. Ella's voice is a joy to hear and she cleverly defined each character. 10/10 for Ella.

So Enjoyable

When I first read & then listened to this book my mum had just died and I just identified with so much in here (no main characters die!). It is such a well written and thought out book with realistic characters (I’ve actually known people like Arabella & Alistair!!!!) And a sense of humour that makes it a pleasure to read and listen to. The narrator is excellent and conveys the scenes wonderfully. So thank you to A E Radley for writing such an enjoyable escape and Ella Lynch whose narration gave it a distinct personality!!!

Very sweet story, excellent narration

I love how narration can elevate (I’m not sure it’s the right word…) a book. I really liked The Road Ahead when I read it, but listening to it was even better. There’s nothing obviously extraordinary about Ella Lynch’s narration, it’s simply perfect for the story. The things that had mildly bothered me in book form didn’t matter in audio, they completely worked when told with the right tone.

Surprisingl enjoyable

Not my normal genre, but I actaully really enjoyed this title. The characters were well rounded and brilliantly deliniated by the narrator. Not the most complex of story lines, but touching nonetheless. I would read more from this author, and I would definitely listen to more from this narrator.

I enjoyed the book and the narration by Ella Lynch adds to the story she brings the accents off just right.
