Thanks Lisa for the news release on these two awards. I have recently listened to the audio book of Reading By Moonlight and thought it an exceptional work and so pleased that Walker has been recognised in this way for sharing her difficult journey. I also have Night Street on the TBR and enjoyed your review.

Hi Jenny
I bought the audio book of Reading by Moonlight, (narrated by Jane Nolan), and I’m going to listen to it as soon as I’ve finished the other audio books I borrowed from the library. I’m listening to The Glass Room at the moment, what a wonderful book that is!
