Product Description
Jeanie Masterson has a gift: she can hear the last words of the dead.
Passed down from generation to generation, this gift means she is able to make wrongs right, to give voice to unspoken love and dying regrets. She and her father have worked happily alongside each other for years, but now he's unexpectedly announced that he wants to retire early and leave the business to her and her life is called into question.
Does she really want to be married to the embalmer, or does she want to be with her childhood sweetheart, off in London? Does she want to have children, and pass this gift on to them? And does she want to be stuck in this small town, or is there more of the world she wants to see - like the South of France, where she's discovered a woman who shares her gift?
Tied to her home by this unusual talent, she begins to question: what if what she's always thought of as a gift is a curse?

Listening Still by Anne Griffin
Having loved "When all is said", I was excited to read "Listening Still". Whilst it is interesting, I felt it was not of the same standard. This was slow moving and drawn out, hopping back and forth between the past and present and could have been told in fewer words. The concept of hearing the dead, the family dynamics in the undertaking business, the marriage relationship were all of interest but this just didn't captivate me the way its predecessor did.
