About this listen
Eadie Browne is an odd child with unusual parents, living in a strange house neighbouring the local cemetery. Bullied at school – but protected by her two best friends Celeste and Josh, and her many imaginary friends lying six feet under next door – Eadie muddles her way through.
Arriving in Manchester as a student in the late 1980s, Eadie confronts a busy, gritty Victorian metropolis a far cry from the small Garden City she's left behind. Soon enough she experiences a novel freedom she never imagined and it's seductive. She can be who she wants to be, do as she pleases, and no one back home needs to know. As Manchester embraces the dizzying, colourful euphoria of Rave counterculture, Eadie is swept along, blithely ignoring danger and reality. Until, one night, her past comes hurtling at her with ramifications which will continue into her adult life.
Now, as the new Millennium beckons, Eadie is turning 30 with a marriage in tatters. She must travel back to where she once lived for a funeral she can't quite comprehend.

Journey in time
Loved this story which took us from childhood to adulthood living each period building picture perfect images along the way. Wanted it to go on forever and felt bereft when this beautiful story concluded. Another great Freya North book. I will read again after a few months when undoubtedly I will find aspects missed on first reading and love it again.

Ah excellent listen
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story is so well written with great characterisation and brought so beautifully to life through the excellent narration! I felt strangely bereft of Eadie's life/world when it finished and so now begins the wait for the next book!
Highly recommend.

Fabulous Freya
I really didn’t know what to expect. The story was so nostalgic. The just loved the fact that Eadie was just off centre. The character frustrated me at times then I had to remind myself she was growing up as I was listening and without spoilers she had several lightbulb moments.
I would highly recommend.

Emotional and Emotive
Thoroughly enjoyed this book, highlighted by an exceptional narrator. I'm not often emotionally touched to tears but had a very wobbly moment or two. Highly recommend.

One of the best narrators I've heard
It doesn't matter how good a book is, if the narrator isn't up to the job its a disaster. Amanda's narration was perfect. It felt like she was the main character telling me her story, not just someone reading a book as some others do.
The story was unusual. The characters all had time to develop, they were all plausable and likeable. I was even left with a sense of understanding and empathy towards the 'bad guy'.
I found myself drawn into Eadie's world, even in tears at one point. I'm the same age as her, so many of the cultural references were nostalgic.
I very much enjoyed listening and may try other books by the author. I will definitely listen to anything else Amanda Abbington narrates, she was brilliant.
