About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'Sometimes I have so much rage it scares me...'

Grace Adams is one bad day away from saving her life...

One hot summer day, stuck in traffic on her way to pick up the cake for her daughter's sixteenth birthday party, Grace Adams snaps.

She doesn't scream or break something or cry or curl into a ball. She simply abandons her car in traffic and walks away.

But not from her life—towards it. To the daughter who won't live with her anymore and has banned her from the party. To the husband divorcing her. Towards the terrible thing that has blown their family apart...

Today she'll show her daughter that no matter how far we fall we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams was amazing. Her husband and daughter once thought so. They and the world might have forgotten. But Grace is about to remind them...

Amazing Grace Adams tells the story of a life, a marriage, a family, set against a single north-London day. A rollercoaster ride of redemption and discovery, it's a powerful celebration of womanhood.

Different to what I expected but very good.

Different to what I expected, thought it was just chic lit to be forgotten once read however had a powerful story and addressed problems in a realistic and thoughtful way. Eventually had the happy ending I was seeking. Well written and well performed.

Eventually the story had a point

The structure of this book made it almost impossible to listen to as an audiobook. The current trend of not using chapter numbers is so frustrating. I never knew which but I was up to as all the chapters were called either one of three names. A tedious listen, drawn out and over complicated.

Dismal

Not even an enjoyable chick flick. Dull depressing storey. Never judge a book by its colourful cover!!
