Important story, mixed narration
I love this book, although the narration sometimes let it down - especially in the French section, where the French was unintelligible and difficult to listen to.

Tragic but fascinating
Beautifully written and so interesting to read about LGBT life in the early 20th century. The reader has a lovely calm voice and is very good at all the accents in the book.

Great story but poor narration.
A really important story but poorly narrated. The French section in particular was painful and clearly read by someone who'd never been near a French lesson. Such a shame.

Unintelligent narration, needs re recording
This is too important a book not to get one of your top narrators recording it. This reader is an improvement on the last , Less machine-like, but in many places it's obvious she doesn't realise what's she's just said out loud and gets the phrasing wrong, so the sentence meaning is fluffed. Done in a hurry by an inexperienced artist with a pretty voice. Disappointing. Get Juliet Stephenson, Emma Thompson or Maxine Peake. Historically, it's a big enough piece of work. And a bloody good book.

My Favourite book.
Well narrated. Courageously discribes a controversial life in a misogynistic era. Still relevant today. Would have liked a better ending.

A wonderful book with a rich story.
Loved this book. Expertly performed and exquisite in its descriptions. Uplifting and heart breaking in equal measures
