When she approached us to record the audio for the audiobook of her Women’s Prize shortlisted novel “The Bread the Devil Knead”, we were excited at the opportunity to assist. It took several days and many cups of tea, but in the end, we got the final product to Amazon to complete the production. We wish Lisa much success and we hope to assist more authors in the future.
You can purchase the audiobook of “The Bread the Devil Knead” here.
The Bread the Devil Knead is an engrossing and atmospheric novel with a strong feminist message at the heart of its page-turning plot. It explores an abusive love-affair with searing honesty, and skilfully tackles the issue of gender violence and racism against the lush and heady backdrop of the national festival, and the music that feeds it. It’s impossible not to root for Alethea – she is an unforgettable heroine, trapped in ways she is only just beginning to understand but shining with strength, resolve and, ultimately, self-determination.
