1957, the suburbs of south east London. Jean Swinney is a journalist on a local paper, trapped in a life of duty and disappointment from which there is no likelihood of escape. When a young woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud. As the investigation turns her quiet life inside out, Jean is suddenly given an unexpected chance at friendship, love and - possibly - happiness.

Slow burn that keeps giving!
Took me a few chapters to settle in to the book but very glad I persisted. Really enjoyed this book and loved the ending. Bonus that the author at the end told how the story can about.

Not bad
My interest ebbed and flowed. Seemed to drag on a bit in the middle before it suddenly turned into a love story. Narrator was pretty good. Wouldn't actively recommend.

Unexpected
Loved the characters
Beautifully Narrated, wanted to keep listening to find out what was going to happen. The actual story falls a little short but it’s mostly upbeat & unexpected.
