Strength and courage and the unliked friendships

Delightful tale of the getting of wisdom. By learning the true meaning of friendship and her own self-worth, Miss Benson set herself free. She was able to relinquish her past to follow her true life’s purpose. Very enjoyable read.

Enjoyable

A lovely gentle book with excellent narration, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was reminiscent of the “unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry”.

Memorable characters on an extraordinary journey

I loved this book. Two very different women form unlikely companions on this remarkable journey. The physical journey to New Caledonia is fantastic but as with the author's other work it's the character's journey that is captivating.

'Beg pardon Marge"

Juliet Stevenson's narration of this lovely story just makes it even better. Female friendships take many forms and the one between Margery and 'Enid' is a unique one. Awkward, naive, uninhibited and at times deceitful but at the core is love and compassion. The imagery in the story is so beautifully written that I could clearly see their travels and their challenges. I loved it.

Newbie to Audible Easy 'listening''

thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to end. I'm a real newbie to Audible this was only my second ever 'listening' & I found the narrator's voice VERY easy on the ear. Easy going, light hearted to have in my ears just before sleep. Thoroughly recommend for a pleasant 'listen'

Fun, easy to listen to and entertaining

I first saw this title in a book store when I was browsing through. It looked interesting so when I saw it as an audio book and I had a long journey to drive, I put it on my list. I never ended up listening to anything else. I loved the narration which bought the story to life. It was so clever that at times had me laughing out loud. It was obviously fiction but not over the top and was thoroughly entertaining. I could see this as a movie and if it does become one it will definitely be on my watching list.
If you are after a gritty true to life story then this may not be the book for you, but if you just like to be entertained by witty characters and fun adventures then I definitely recommend.

Highly recommended!

Such an awesome book! It has everything from action, adventure, love, sadness and hope. It is a very unique novel and not one you can easily describe into any genre. The narration and accents were marvellous! I finished it with a smile on my face. Read it today!!!
