Plus it's always a pleasure to listen to a McCaddon-read book.

I'm only about 1/2 way through it, but certainly far enough to review it. This is a book that is growing on me the longer I read it. In the beginning, I would have quit except that it's Nadia May (Wanda McCaddon) reading it, and I can listen to her doing the London phone book. However, the longer I listen, the more the story pulls me in. Ms. McCaddon's narration remains wonderful, even though this isn't the sort of book that really calls for much from the narrator. There are no "voices" required, no actual dialog. Each chapter is basically a standalone story, written in much the same style as a letter might be. Recommended.
