A truly inventive, beautifully written, exquisitely read novel that is a joy to read.

A perfect book — with the taste of North Africa that makes one feel one has lived a lifetime there, a amazingly engaging heroine, and a background of spirit, sociopolitical truths, and magic. One of the favorite books of my life — and many others’. A superb production of it, too.

Great book, recording is off

The story is great. The recording sound goes in and out although it is always understandable even if I have to turn up the volume.

What an adventure!

I loved this book from beginning to end. The audio was spotty at times but the narration was spin on.

I love this story

I first read it when I was younger, then lived it so much I have re read it over a dozen times.
I was so excited to see it was in audible!!!!
Well read, loved the narrator’s voice. I felt like Missy was actually telling her story.
