nice story

I almost gave up on this book after the first few chapters I just didn't get it but then all of a sudden I really got into the characters and the story (I couldn't tell you when this happened) even though it was predictable in so many ways.
I like a good long story that I can keep coming back to, to join the characters and see what will happen next so this was perfect for me, even though it did make me cringe at times lol

A glorious whole

What a tremendous book. I have read it three times and still love it. The characters, their stories, the touching beauty in the depiction of each character and the humour make the work a feast. The performance by Christine Williams is completely astounding. Thank you so very much. I have listened to all the McMan books on Audible and keep coming back to the Jericho series, but as with all of this author’s books, she peoples them with characters one wants to stay with and meet again and again. Thank you.

A real treat and MUST have!

What did you like most about Jericho?

I can truly say I loved it all but most of all, the journey of Syd and Maddie and their path they found to each other, the friendships formed and on a personal note, for me the acceptance that came for Syd from her family. If that isn't enough of an emotional journey (and frustrating at times - in a good way), the friendships, humour (laugh out loud so don't be surprised if people start looking at you funny :-P) and other characters like David, Michael and all the other residents of Jericho will absolutely make you stay tuned until the end......you will want more!!!! The narrator is also excellent and really brings the story to life.

What other book might you compare Jericho to, and why?

Snow Falls, from Gerri Hill. Similar journey to Syd and Maddie. A journey of meeting your should and life partner, the questions it raised about what you thought you knew about yourself and the joys of what happens next...

Have you listened to any of Christine Williams’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, Aftermath, which is the follow up from Jericho and another MUST HAVE! As always she reads very well, really takes you on a journey through the book. The emotion that comes across in her voice when excitement, joy and sadness happens, really makes the characters come alive and pulls you in to the story. I have also just started listening to Hoosier Daddy and already cant stop listening.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

ABSOLUTELY! The humour is fantastic, you cant help but laugh out loud. Due to the book being so well written and narrated, you cant help but shed a tear every now and then and off course share in the joys of all the good stuff happening as well.

Any additional comments?

Overall Jericho was a fantastic book to listen to. The characters and their development is really wonderful. The journey of Syd and Maddie, absolutely beautiful and their lives entwined with all the characters in Jericho is a real treat. I don't want to give the plot away but all and all at the end I had to have more and went to buy Aftermath, the follow up to Jericho, immediately after.

A real find A strange little story but a lovely o

This is a LONG book by many standards BUT it is worth the listen. The characters are complex and interesting, even the wee lassie that keeps falling over every time she sees Maddie. My partner said it was not her cup of tea, but I loved the language, the subtle turns of phrase, and the use of complex sentences. Some say it was too arty but the story had such a rich language that sometimes I had to look up the dictionary!

superb

two women meet on a lonely Rd a tyre puncture the start of a wonderfully written book of one small town romance that blossoms slowly from bud to flower, through wind rain and sunshine, of the people of emotional turmoil, the characters are layered and the narration brings them to life with humour anger love and compassion, as the story evolves you forget it's length which only adds value to this purchase.
