Would you listen to A Week in Winter again? Why?

I listen to these stories over and over. Some people take sleeping pills and tranquilizers to relax and sleep. I just need a good English story with a good English narrator

Have you listened to any of Josephine Bailey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes - she is great

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not especially - I am always sorry to see them end
