This audiobook was recommended to me over and over again (see what I did there?!?!?). And it didn’t disappoint.

It was a gorgeous opus that gives us an age-gap romance that kind of makes you feel like you’re in a dream state. Imre and Luca are so full of emotion and compassion. Even Luca’s, at times, frustrating immaturity was beautifully done and rather endearing. A bit impetuous, but thoughtful and caring too.

Imre is solid comfort. A salt-of-the-earth type that makes you feel safe immediately. It’s easy to see why Luca the boy and Luca the man had a crush on him. I was thrilled for this man to find someone to fill his solitary life.

The life they built is special.

And the narration is superb.  I recently discovered Philip Alces and I find him utterly captivating.
