I rarely write reviews but this one was special. A quickly engaging, lovely story, where the mysteries of someone’s life are slowly revealed. Narration is superb.

Style of communications via letter writing or email was inspiring to me on future correspondence

The story was reasonably good, if one overlooks the clumsy misdirection of “Poppi’s” gender. But truly annoying was the adenoidal rendering of Helen’s maudlin soliloquies.

I loved the book. The audio made it even better. I generally pick books different from this genre but what a gift. .

Wow- it’s been a long time since I’ve read something this good! I could not put this down. I had to cancel my afternoon.

Lies lies and revenge for sure!! Such a good, who done it!! First book by this writer but not gonna be my last. Great narration, highly recommend!!

I host book club in a few months and this will be my book. I listened and I appreciated the many different narrators. her whole story comes out in letters….

Fantastic! I am so glad I listened via audible instead of reading. The narration was wonderful.
