About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Is there such a thing as a perfect marriage?

David thought so. But when his wife, Mary Rose, dies suddenly he has to think again. In reliving their 20 years together David sees that the ground beneath them had shifted and he simply hadn't noticed. Or had chosen not to.

Figuring out who Mary Rose really was and the secrets that she kept - some of these hidden in plain sight - makes David wonder if he really knew her. Did he even know himself?

Nothing but Blue Sky is a precise and tender story of love in marriage - a gripping examination of what binds couples together and of what keeps them apart.

I loved this audible book about marriage, bereavement, childlessness and the effects on us of our childhood experiences. Slow moving and funny at times but compelling. Excellent narration.

So compelling. Will miss every character. Uniquely relatable. Marie Rose would be happy with the denouement I think. More McMahon please.

Stellar Storytelling

This book is ok, slow going but not bad. It really threw me that around chapter 18 the readers voice totally changes... felt it hard to concentrate on anything other than this!
