About this listen
Fern has the voice of an angel, but as an underpaid barmaid and pub singer, she's going nowhere fast. Then she enters the TV talent show Fame Game, and this could be her big break. But then, things are never that simple.
Evan David's exquisite tones have enthralled opera buffs throughout the world. Everyone around him panders to his every need, but what he really needs now is a break - from everything. Two worlds collide when Fern becomes Evan's assistant, and neither is prepared for the dramatic effect they have on each other. Something happens when they're together, and it's more than just music....

When will Carole Matthews discover the women’s movement? Her female protagonists are hapless, down trodden women who bumble through life and finally- with the help of kind males - get to a happy ending. This book made me want to just shake the main character- Fern- and tell her to stop being so pathetic. A frustrating father, pathetic mother, hopeless living situations and a sudden chance of fame that she throws away - all add to the growing frustration with this story
None of Matthews characters are ever educated, strong independent women- and this book follows the same recipe. Pathetic, rather ditzy & dumb, but kind and there to serve everyone else’s needs - is the author’s view of women - if her books are any indication.
The narrator was average and her Welsh/American accent was poor with little modulation for the various characters
Come on Carole - give us a book that has an inspiring female lead- we are in the 21st century!
