Wonderful novel!

Wow! What a marvellous novel this is, narrated brilliantly by Eva Haddon.
The beautiful descriptions of each place, so well researched especially into the customs & the culture of the people. The well rounded characters brought to life by the accents of the narrator- sublime! The story lines, interwoven seamlessly.
A gem of a novel. I am bereft at it’s ending!

Just brilliant!

Oh what a book- I enjoyed it so much and feel a real sense of loss when it finished.
So beautifully read too - which made it so special.

blaming others for how we feel.....

Would you consider the audio edition of Constance to be better than the print version?

I love the tones the expression of a brillant readers voice. It allows me to fully relax a feel the story,flow into it with my imagination. If i had read it for myself ,i would have had to engage my brain ,rather deeply enjoying the audio book on a sensory level

Who was your favorite character and why?

constance,the outsider,the black sheep.I always love when a character reflacts on their life and makes peace with themselves and life.

What about Eva Haddon’s performance did you like?

Eva has a gentle expressive voice,which was easy to listen to

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Forbidden love story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoyed this long audiobook. If you are a fan of a long listen, this is a really good find. Loved the narrator and found the story, though a bit slow at times, really compelling.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I enjoyed all the different charaters, it was nice having people from different countries and finding out about their customs and traditions. I liked Constance, but really liked the lap dancer charachter the best.

What does Eva Haddon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I loved the narrator. Great voice, I am so picky about who I listen too, it was great to find a new one I liked!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! But it was too long for me to manage that!

Slow start but worth it

I shelved this a couple of times, unable to get interested but it’s worth pushing through, turned out to be really excellent
