ストーリー
On a cold February afternoon, Stella catches sight of a man she hasn't seen for many years, but instantly recognises. Or thinks she does. At the same moment on the other side of the globe, in the middle of a crowd of Chinese New Year revellers, Jake realises that things are becoming dangerous. They know nothing of one another's existence, but both Stella and Jake flee their lives: Jake in search of a place so remote it doesn't appear on any map, and Stella for a destination in Scotland, the significance of which only her sister, Nina, will understand.

ストーリー
Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of lexicographers are gathering words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Esme's place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day, she sees a slip containing the word bondmaid flutter to the floor unclaimed. Esme seizes the word and hides it in an old wooden trunk that belongs to her friend, Lizzie, a young servant in the big house.

ストーリー
Outside a remote manor house in an idyllic wood, a baby girl is found. The Harrington family takes her in, and disbelief quickly turns to joy. They're grieving a terrible tragedy of their own, and the beautiful baby fills them with hope, lighting up the house's dark, dusty corners. Desperate not to lose her to the authorities, they keep her secret, suspended in a blissful summer world where normal rules of behaviour - and the law - don't seem to apply. But within days a body will lie dead in the grounds. And their dreams of a perfect family will shatter like glass.

If they stay in the city, Agnes will die. There is only one alternative: the Wilderness State, the last swath of untouched, protected land, where people have always been forbidden. Until now.

ストーリー
Jean Swinney is a feature writer on a local paper, disappointed in love and - on the brink of 40 - living a limited existence with her truculent mother: a small life from which there is no likelihood of escape. When a young Swiss woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud. But the more Jean investigates, the more her life becomes strangely (and not unpleasantly) intertwined with that of the Tilburys.

ストーリー
Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend who defines your life. In the summer of 1986, in a small Scottish town, James and Tully ignite a brilliant friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over and the locked world of their fathers before them, they rush towards the climax of their youth: a magical weekend in Manchester, the epicentre of everything that inspires them in working-class Britain. There, against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded, a vow is made: to go at life differently. Thirty years on, half a life away, the phone rings. Tully has news.
あらすじ・解説
This Must Be The Place: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*
Short-listed for the Costa Novel Award - A Richard and Judy Pick 2017
A reclusive ex-film star living in the wilds of Ireland, Claudette Wells is a woman whose first instinct, when a stranger approaches her home, is to reach for her shotgun. Why is she so fiercely protective of her family, and what made her walk out of her cinematic career when she had the whole world at her feet?
Her husband, Daniel, reeling from a discovery about a woman he last saw 20 years ago, is about to make an exit of his own. It is a journey that will send him off course, far away from the life he and Claudette have made together. Will their love for one another be enough to bring Daniel back home?
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

A good story badly presented
Maggie O'Farrell tells a good story but this is - again - an occasion when I should have read the book rather than listened to it. In particular, I HATED the background music which occurred regularly throughout the recording. I have hearing loss and this was a very unwelcome intrusion into my listening. I would be disinclined to try another Maggie O'Farrell recording now.

Dreadful Narration!
The narrator is dreadful. Can’t get through chapter 1. Awful music playing in the background. Terrible! Can’t rate the story because can’t listen to it! So disappointed as was looking forward to this book :-(

A Beautiful Book
Maggie O’Farrell is a superb author who tells a compelling story with each book she writes. In this book her characters are intricately drawn and the story weaves in and out of several decades drawing the reader in with every word and sentence. It is an absolute joy to listen to mostly. However in this version the book was almost spoiled for me by the awful musical and sound accompaniments in the background the whole way through the book. I found it particularly annoying when listening to the book while driving my car as the strange tappings and crowd muttering at times made me think there was a problem with my car. Please Audible don’t spoil an excellent book like this with ‘noises off’. A writer like Maggie O’Farrell does not need this embellishment and the narrators read the story so beautifully that neither do they!

Gnaaarrrr! Stop the music!
I am not sure I can listen any more. Halfway through Chapter 1. This is making my ears bleed. Stop the goddamn music. And also, maybe not the guy for the job; hIs femaling is a bit not great and his accents dreadful. Either do it or dont... not the weird affected panto voices. I need a drink.

This author always writes a compelling story
Narration was well covered considering the varied characters perspectives & nationalities. The story development was cleverly shaped using these characters. With fluctuation in chapter headings and timeline, one needs to pay attention to the audio. Maggie O'Farrell is a mastermind of family drama.

The sound of music!
What a shame. It had what seems to have an interesting plot but the over loud music completely spoilt it for me. I was hoping it was just the introduction but the music continued! I am afraid this old fashioned thing likes her books "neat" without a constant music background
