关于此有声读物

Warm, insightful and poignant, Freeing Grace tells the story of David, curate of an inner-city parish, and Leila, his Nigerian-born wife. Unable to have children of their own, they're desperate for a family. When they finally hear they've been approved to adopt a baby, Grace, they can scarcely believe their good fortune. There's just one problem for which David and Leila cannot plan: Grace's birth family – the enigmatic, charismatic Harrisons. Enlisting their friend, the feckless, charming New Zealander, Jake Kelly – who's half in love with all of them, one way or another – the Harrisons send him on a quest that will force a confrontation. Ultimately, each has a terrible decision to make. Everyone only wants what's best for Grace – but who can say exactly what that is?

作者简介

Charity Norman is the best-selling author of seven novels. Born in Uganda and brought up in draughty vicarages in the North of England, she spent some years in escapist travel before becoming a barrister, specialising in crime, family law and mediation. In 2002, realising that her three small children had barely met her, she took a break from the law and moved with them and her kiwi husband to Aotearoa New Zealand, where she began to write.
