About this listen
Warm, insightful and poignant, Freeing Grace tells the story of David, curate of an inner-city parish, and Leila, his Nigerian-born wife. Unable to have children of their own, they're desperate for a family. When they finally hear they've been approved to adopt a baby, Grace, they can scarcely believe their good fortune. There's just one problem for which David and Leila cannot plan: Grace's birth family - the enigmatic, charismatic Harrisons. Enlisting their friend, the feckless, charming New Zealander, Jake Kelly - who's half in love with all of them, one way or another - the Harrisons send him on a quest that will force a confrontation.
Ultimately, each has a terrible decision to make. Everyone only wants what's best for Grace - but who can say exactly what that is?

I felt this book, the author's first, had too many themes she wanted to include and her second book "After the Fall" is much better. I recommend the latter.
The narrator does an admirable job.
Core story good diluted with too much added

Would you try another book written by Charity Norman or narrated by Kate Hood?
NoWhat could Charity Norman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I'm sure the book was good, as I enjoyed "After the Fall" but I could not listen to it because of the narration.Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Hood?
Anyone.You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
NoAny additional comments?
I do wish that most narrators wouldn't try to put on different voices for different characters. There are very few that actually pull it off. When they do it is brilliant. Kate Hood, sadly, can't. She is Australian and some of her accents were frankly horrendous. She reads well and so it is such a shame.Terrible narration
