A new book from Alice Feeney! I've read or listened to all of her books. There's no way to predict what's going to happen in a Feeney plot and that's definitely the case in Beautiful Ugly.Grady Green is author who has hit the brick wall - he simply can't write anything, His editor has a great idea and Grady calls his wife to let her know what his editor has suggested. She picks up her mobile and then....nothing....until...
I was hooked! I needed to know what happened in the past and what is happening now. Grady isn't sure what is going on at all. I don't want to spoil this book for you, so I'm going to let you discover alongside Grady.
Now, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I often feel more immersed in a book when I listen to it. Beautiful Ugly is one of those books. The readers were actor Richard Armitage and actress Tuppence Middleton. They both did an excellent job. They spoke clearly and were easy to understand. They captured Feeney's work and used their voices to capture and present the emotions and action of the plot. I liked the presentation - the chapters change with sound effects such as water/waves and the sound of a metronome ticking the time away.
I loved this from the publisher's page...
"Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do."
9 Hours, 20 Minutes. A five star listen for me.
