Short but good

The author has written a nice, touching story of three generations - it is short, but you do get to see some depth in the characters. I think a few more short stories of this calibre and she'd have a great book. I didnt love the narrator - would have preferred a British narrator who know how to pronounce Loughborough!! However, that is a minor detail - as the content of the book is well written, gripping and enjoyable - just a litle short and would be nice to have some more short stories added to make an anthology.

Moving

I enjoyed listening to this short story. It captures the emotions of a family dealing with grief. The narration by Mandy Grant-Grierson is clear and adds depth to the story. At just 17 minutes, it's a quick listen that leaves a lasting impression. I recommend it to anyone looking for a brief yet impactful story.

A Powerful Story That Stays with You

I was completely drawn into Laid to Rest from the first page. The way it captures the raw emotions of a family torn apart by grief is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It’s a story about pain, healing, and the hope for reconciliation. I felt connected to the characters and their struggles—it’s emotional, relatable, and unforgettable. A must-read if you enjoy family dramas with real depth!

Good story but very short

The story is good and the idea of 3 generations being intensified is also nice but the story is too short to be remembered or even talked about

Wow! Pretty fun short listen

If you are looking for a short listen, this is your book! Was completely blind going in, and was super impressed. Don't want to spoil anything, but just know you'll love it if your into fiction!

deeply moving

it's a story about family, divided and reunited. it's really touching to me, probably becaseu it's somewhat similar to my family, and i can always feel the characters like i was growing up in their family. it was never easy for me in a young age too. somehow i managed to get to where i am now, but it's definitely not without sacrifices and compromises. it's hard facing it alone. reading this book, the lines resonates with me on a deep level. i really love the author's writing style, it's gently telling the stories, not rushing, but deeply touching my soul.
