the beautiful things that heaven bears
the narrative of Dion Graham reading the audio book adds a rich dimension to a wonderful novel. From page one the author and the reader grabs you and owns you. You live with the people inhabiting the novel; emotional engaged with their world. maybe listening to a an Ethiopian accent tell his story is richer than reading it? i wanted it not to end. Naomi and Sepha own my heart
