What a sumptuous read! Ross reads this one herself and it’s fabulous, the rhythms of it are perfect for audio even if sometimes the ‘plot’ and large cast of characters isn’t. We’re dropped into the rich and fantastical world of Popisho (the US title) where everyone is born with cors, a magical ability that ranges from sniffing out lies to changing the colour of objects to healing. Plot is less important than atmosphere here, but essentially its centre is two people who were destined for each other but married other people. It’s hilarious, bawdy, rich and ribald, and definitely one I can see myself revisiting in print!
