The Best I Have Listened To In A Long Time

I really enjoyed listening to this book The Workhouse Waif, and I know it would make a Wonderful Film or even a short T.V. Series. I really look forward to listening to more from. Lynette Rees.

Beautiful story

I absolutely loved this story. I couldn’t wait to finish work every day, so I could listen to the next few chapters whilst driving home. It absolutely captured my heart from beginning to end.

Great story disappointing narration

This book was completely ruined by the narrator so much so I'll never purchase another book narrated by her. She races along from one sentence to another with no emotion or even interest in the story very disappointed
