Amazing book

This book is truly superb. It takes you on an emotional and moral rollercoaster and discusses many philosophical issues that are still prescient in today’s society. I was sometimes tearful, blushing and happy because of the depth of words and events in this book.

A good audiobook is made by the talent of the narrator. Judy Franklin is the Leo Messi of narrations. Her ability to bring out the full emotional weight and expressions was superb. She made you feel like you were present in the midst of the characters and within the characters. Bravo
