I am nearly finished with the audible version and I think I would have preferred to read it. The multiple characters and unfamiliar names and terms would have been better for me in a written form and easier to remember. The authors website is very helpful to keep the names and places straight. I referred to it several times. I am enjoying it but it’s no Cutting for Stone. I enjoy the characters, especially the women who are wise and funny. Phillipose is a big baby.
