Excellent storyline
Loved the story but I felt it was spoiled by the reader. I love Patricia Scanlan's books so it wouldn't put me off another one

Spoiled by the reader
One of my favourite books, totally spoiled by the narrator. She seemed breathless and in a terrible hurry.
I couldn't continue and asked for a refund.
So disappointed 😞

Dreadful narration.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I absolutely love Patricia Scanlan, one of my favourite authors but I could continue listening to this one. Loads of mispronunciations and monotonous.
Has A Time for Friends put you off other books in this genre?
No, not at all, just the narrator.
What didn’t you like about Grainne Gillis’s performance?
As above.

What would have made A Time for Friends better?
Better narration
What was most disappointing about Patricia Scanlan’s story?
Only got half way through chapter 1 before I lost the will to live
What didn’t you like about Grainne Gillis’s performance?
She was rushing through the sentences so much thought she was on speed dial and hadn't been thought to breathe properly. Couldn't stand it!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
All the above
Any additional comments?
Have just finished Orange Blossom Days by Patricia Scanlan which I loved so was looking forward to listening to another book by same author
