About this listen

A forgotten childhood. A discovered life. The poignant new bestseller from Cecelia Ahern.

What if you only had one day to find out who you really were?

When Sabrina Boggs stumbles upon a mysterious collection of her father’s possessions, she discovers a truth where she never knew there was a lie. The familiar man she grew up with is suddenly a stranger to her.

An unexpected break in her monotonous daily routine leaves her just one day to unlock the secrets of the man she thought she knew. A day that unearths memories, stories and people she never knew existed. A day that changes her and those around her forever.

The Marble Collector is a thought-provoking novel about how the most ordinary decisions we make can have the most extraordinary consequences for how we live our lives. And how sometimes it’s only by shining on a light on someone else, that you can truly understand yourself.

Childhood coming-of-age loss of memory so many areas covered by this wonderful story.
The narration was excellent.
All of the characters are engaging although I couldn't understand their obsessions as described in the book I needed to know what was happening next and cared about all of them.

It is now up there as one of my all-time favourite audible books

Brilliant

love celia ahern books so thought I'd trial one of her books I've had for a while but not yet had a chance to read. initially I thought I'd just listen on way to work on the bus but found myself listening at home until I'd finished all within 24 hours. great story and enjoyed the Irish readers too.

Couldn't stop listening.
