🎙 Narrated by Ellie Heydon
67/100
👎 Skip It
This one settles you into the Tuscan hills with two boys, generations apart, both climbing out of the same kind of hurt — it's warm and evocative on setting but the mirrored rescue arcs feel a little too neatly matched. I couldn't find independent reviews of Ellie Heydon's narration beyond the publisher's own listing, so treat the audio quality as an open question too.
