What a beautiful book. The narration was excellent, and it worked so well having a different narrator for the exceptional Marcellus. Speaking of, he was my favourite character and I loved any chapter with him!
The older characters especially were terrific. But all the characters were so fully realised and relatable. There was an understanding that not everyone is perfect, and we all make decisions that we think are for the best at the time. It's ok to change your mind though! Mistakes are part of nature.
Just a very good book, and the audiobook worked well - I looked forward to listening. There are sad bits, but I was also laughing quite a lot. Would recommend.
