I laughed, I cried and I said “Aha!” What a gift Margaret has given us. We all understand her better and understand the bipolar experience, or at least her bipolar experience better. I’m grateful to her.

This highly praised novel did not disappoint. The author’s insight into social issues around the time of the 1832 Reform Act is remarkable. Although she wrote it forty years after that time, she was writing about the area she grew up in and her knowledge of it shows. I can hardly wait to listen to more books by the same author and reader.

I normally like to be read to by someone with an English accent but found it unsatisfying in this case. Mispronunciation of place names eg Abitibi was annoying. I’m sure Judge Pelletier should have Ben pronounced differently. Surely there are French Canadian readers who could have made the experience more authentic.
