Beautifully narrated book

A sad account of what life was like for Jews and some of the horrors faced by children at that time. Beautifully written and narrated. Couldn’t help being absorbed into the story and the sadness of looking at that period through the eyes of a child. Horrific and heartbreaking but also filled with hope for a young boy navigating the new world he finds himself in.

Brilliant but gut-wrenching

What did you like most about After?

Really well written - I didn't want to stop listening! But terribly, terribly sad - be warned! I would say suitable for 10 plus.

Which character – as performed by Morris Gleitzman – was your favourite?

Felix - the story is told by him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely.

Any additional comments?

Listen to them all - Once, Now and Then.
