I just started this book last night, just getting through the first three chapters.

One of the things that has struck me so far, and which I like, is that the narration comes across to me as apposite and not embellished. So I thought it an appropriate style for reading aloud - but I had not thought of audiobooks until I read fantasyfan's post and reread Bookworm_Girl's one in that light. It is not often that I listen to audio books but have downloaded the LibraVox dramatic version too, to have a go at.

The only difficulty I have with the story, so far, is that for the life of me I cannot keep in my mind the correct name for the young Lennox girl character. "Annie" always pops into my head and can't be got rid of, rather like a song that keeps repeating itself
