About this listen

Eadie Browne is an odd child with unusual parents, living in a strange house neighbouring the local cemetery. Bullied at school – but protected by her two best friends Celeste and Josh, and her many imaginary friends lying six feet under next door – Eadie muddles her way through.

Arriving in Manchester as a student in the late 1980s, Eadie confronts a busy, gritty Victorian metropolis a far cry from the small Garden City she's left behind. Soon enough she experiences a novel freedom she never imagined and it's seductive. She can be who she wants to be, do as she pleases, and no one back home needs to know. As Manchester embraces the dizzying, colourful euphoria of Rave counterculture, Eadie is swept along, blithely ignoring danger and reality. Until, one night, her past comes hurtling at her with ramifications which will continue into her adult life.

Now, as the new Millennium beckons, Eadie is turning 30 with a marriage in tatters. She must travel back to where she once lived for a funeral she can't quite comprehend.

I wasn’t sure about this book but as soon as I started to listen I was hooked. Eadie Browne intrigued me in her approach to life and the people she encountered. I actually cried at some parts as I was so moved. Well written and narrated. I particularly enjoy it when narrator makes no attempt to change their voice according to gender. A brilliant listen!

A really good story

Loved this story which took us from childhood to adulthood living each period building picture perfect images along the way. Wanted it to go on forever and felt bereft when this beautiful story concluded. Another great Freya North book. I will read again after a few months when undoubtedly I will find aspects missed on first reading and love it again.

I loved Eadie’s character so much, her friends, the route her life took. A simple but compelling tale of growing up, growing apart & reconnecting. Kindness & wonder abundant. I literally floated through this lovely story.

Fabulous
