About this listen

Although they had always dreamed of having a family, tall, horse-faced Frances and stubby, one-eyed Jack had reconciled themselves to a lifetime of abject loneliness. Then one day, out of nowhere, an infant is dropped into their midst. A fairy tale for adults!

This is a 79 page novella, just one minute short of 3 hours of audio. It kept me entertained on a long-haul flight, but for some reason I wasn't totally invested in it. It has a great premise: two social misfits come together and discover happiness when they find themselves sharing the care of a baby.
There are several hiccups; questions are going to be asked when you suddenly appear with a child, out of the blue. These were the parts that kept my interest, while the remainder of the narrative rolled along uneventfully.

Maybe it was the fact that this was short, maybe I just didn't have time to get into the lives of the characters. Perhaps I needed a bit more body to the story.
Quite a surprise ending, raised my rating to 4 stars.

I loved the narration by Tom Zainea, who has read several of John Isaac Jones's novellas.

Bound by a child.
