I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the author. It’s the perfect book to listen to as it doesn’t demand a lot of the reader.
I found the characters all a bit too stereotyped for my liking: saint-like dying woman whose advice is constantly quoted; potty-mouthed young woman who discovers she’s pregnatn; a woman who is a former spy but now uses her skills to run a home…all too predictable. And there are way too many issues that Bignell tries to cover in this one book.
However, if you put all these reservations aside, and just go along with the narrative, you’ll find yourself enjoying the ride.
