About this listen

It's 1884, and 14-year-old Sunday Small has been in the Nuneaton workhouse since she was abandoned at birth. The regime is cruel, and if it were not for her dear little friend Daisy, Sunday's life would barely be worth living. And now she's attracted the unwelcome attention of the seedy workhouse master, who will stop at nothing to get her alone. It's time for Sunday to strike out alone in the world, but the brutal world of the workhouse will not let her go without a fight....

enchanting

beautifully narrated and very believable as the young girl due to the narrator's abilitiy to portray a youngster. the only negative was the last few chapters stretching the story a bit too much. but overall a magic spellbinding read.

The start of what I'm sure will be a great series

This is the second time I've listened to Mothering Sunday, and it had the same effect on me as the first time. It's an emotional journey, telling the story of the life of young Sunday Small, from her troubled birth, through her turbulent childhood and teen years. I won't spoil the ending, other than to warn readers/listeners that it's very emotional.
I'm looking forward to the next instalment.
