Lovely!
Yet another good story from Rachel Hore. As usual, there is an interweaving of past and present with everything coming to a satisfactory, if somewhat expected, conclusion. Her historical information is spot on, and the description of Elgar`s "Dream of Gerontius" and the rehearsals, flows nicely. She`s obviously done her research!
However, Jilly Bond has to be THE most annoying narrator ever. Her voice is constantly full of emotion, yet her reading and interpretation of the characters is both emotion and passionless. In future, for me, Rachel Hore`s novels will have to be on the printed page unless narrated by someone else!!

Really enjoyable story
This is an 'unturnable off' story with thoroughly believable characters. It's an unusual setting in a stained glass workshop where a window is being restored. There's an historical element too related through a diary about how the window was first commissioned and built. Also a strong musical element, the main character, Fran is a tuba player.
The narration is excellent with each voice being instantly recognizable for who it's meant to be.
Easy listening but well written and read. Highly recommended

the story and narrator
not as good as the other books. narrator again makes the men sound 100 years old and as though they are weak and gasping for breath, always let's the males in the stories down

Beautifully written and read
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel - well formed plot, evocative narrative and the narration was so good, it was like listening to a play. I have purchased 2 more titles by the author in the strength of this one.

a little disapointing
Loved the gathering storm , but this one did not quite hit the spot. It seemed to labour on a little and I lost interest.
