I’m the writer of the book Dishing The Dirt: The Hidden Lives of House Cleaners, and today I’ve been listening to your audio version of it. I wanted to email you direct, essentially to say, in capital letters to stress my gratitude, THANK YOU. I think you have done an amazing job, with such subtlety and sensitivity - and such compellingly accurate accents, too.

I’m absolutely thrilled with it!

Nick Duerden, Author, 'Dishing the Dirt'
