  @sarahmatthews @bookstodon The list of narrators for the audio edition is wild, and includes Mary Carillo so I will need to read this right away.

    @jscholes @bookstodon Yes, the audiobook is very good, I had a listen once I finished the braille edition to hear some of the Spanish parts being read out (the main character and her father speak Spanish together) and it was excellent, happy reading!

      @sarahmatthews Agreed. The Spanish narration is done very well. It's good when you understand the language. @jscholes @bookstodon

  @sarahmatthews I agree with you. I was very ill when I read this book. It was light and comfortable. I wasn't in a good place to read it using Braille but thoroughly enjoyed the audio. @bookstodon

    @ppatel @bookstodon Oh I’m so glad it was comforting, I remember I was laid up with a nasty cold or Covid maybe when I read one of her books - Evelyn Hugo - and it was a huge help! I actually had a listen to part of the audiobook of this one when I finished it, mainly to listen to the Spanish parts being read out to me as I kind of skipped them in braille haha! It was very good

      @sarahmatthews Oh I loved Evelyn Hugo. It remains my favorite of her books. I would have loved to read the Spanish in Braille. But, I find that , unless a translation is done well, the accented letters get left out. @bookstodon
