What a novel…a beautiful story of one women’s life from beginning to end told from an audio recording after her death and through the narrative of those in her past and present. 
Throughout the book it brings together all those from every facet of her journey in a beautiful climax where all the unanswered questions are revealed and one feels that Coventina Lyncook can finally be at peace as no stone is left unturned and no question is left unanswered. 
A stunning narrative!
