A review by claire_fuller_writer
From a Low and Quiet Sea by Donal Ryan

4.0

My husband and I listened to this on a car drive up to Yorkshire and back the same day - it's only about six and half hours long. I suppose I'd give it 3.5 stars really. It has wonderful writing (although with audio it's impossible to pause on anything and re-read), but I found the three voices uneven - much preferring Farouk's and Lampy's stories, where there was some action, rather than the action feeling as though it was at one remove (remembered, I suppose) by John's section. Lampy's was very funny at times. The fourth and final section where the pieces came together was clever and surprising (although again, there were parts - the lady from the care home for example - that didn't work for me).
