Reviews
Kim B
What excellent reading of a story about a character torn by the conflict between her insistent drive to be her true self and a world that tries very hard to prevent it. A satisfying listen.
WN
The book and its heroine are extremely irritating, but the reader is absolutely superb amd engaging.
