Need a really good audio-book

The last couple of audiobooks I have enjoyed were:

  • The Names by Florence Knapp and read by Dervla Kirwan
  • Dream Count, written and read by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
  • American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins, read by Yareli Arizmendi

I want something along these lines - a gentle female voice quietly telling a compelling story about women.

Life after Life on audiobook is excellent

I have listened to and loved all your original list. The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is excellent and beautifully narrated on audible.

I'm currently listening to The Vanishing of Margaret Small. It's about a woman with learning difficulties, in her 70s now but looking back at her life spent in a hospital. It's fascinating to hear about the different attitudes in society in the 50s, 60s & 70s, but also heartbreaking to hear how people, but women in particular, were treated.

I've just finished listening to this on your recommendation and absolutely loved it.
