Downloaded this one. I’ve read it before, it’s a fantastic book, and I’m looking forward to having it read to me. I love to read Hemingway, I wouldn’t listen to one unless I had read it first. This is on sale for three pound odd. A bargain.

I have just finished this on Audible, lying on the deck in the sunshine. Seeing how it’s about Ibiza the sunshine added to the atmosphere. It is beautifully narrated by Joanna Lumley. I like Matt Haig’s mysterious and magical books.
