It was too difficult to follow the non-chronological, shifting timeline while listening via audiobook during my daily commute or exercise. I definitely plan to read this one via ebook in order to fully delve into the Greene’s beautiful writing and character development to appreciate the many layers of this book.

Honestly, I don't like general fiction and only listened to it because Colin Firth was narrator. He actually made it enjoyable!
I'm currently listening to
Calamity, the third book in the
Reckoner's series by Brandon Sanderson. Bought the 3 books on a great deal in January. Very much enjoying.
