A story with endearing characters, lyric prose, absurdly funny situations, in a place where people connect across barriers of race and class to get through life. The audiobook narrator, Dominic Hoffman, does an excellent job giving life to the multitude of characters.

Sort of historical fiction, sort of magical realism. But really a story about people, relationships, life's startings and endings, all in a village on the upper Thames river in 1887. Audiobook narrator Juliet Stevenson is an excellent storyteller.

An Audible audiobook with an all-star cast that is hilarious, smart, and imaginative.
