About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE BRITISH BOOK AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF QUEENIE

If you could choose your family, you wouldn't choose the Penningtons

Dimple, Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce are half-siblings who don't have much in common except abandonment issues. But when a catastrophic event forces them to reconnect with each other and with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things start to get complicated fast . . .

People Person is a propulsive story of heart, humour and homecoming, about the true nature of family and the complexities of belonging.

Perfect

Really good book with a brilliant sensitive reading by Danielle Vitalis- A pleasure to listen to. This should be televised as the dialogue is all there already.

The joy of having siblings …

I enjoyed the siblings coming together and seeing their similarities and differences whilst loving each other for them.

LOVED

I loved this book so much, it made me feel the same wonder and joy I felt reading books as a kid. I've been searching for another book that would make me feel this way since, and I'm yet to find it. I liked it a lot more than Queenie actually which is probably controversial (I liked Queenie too though obviously). I hope Candice writes another book with this same warmth and depth soooon!

Interesting take on a familiar story

Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to listening initially but really enjoyed the way the story unfolded, dealing with familiar themes in a none typical way. The narrator really sold the sorry, each character was recognisable just by the way she read them. I really enjoyed this telling.

An easy and enjoyable listen

I loved this story. The characters were a little one dimensional but the narration really brought them to life.

A good tale, with beautifully drawn characters who I grew to like immensely, even Cyril.
