Listeners, the

The engrossing, heartwarming story of what happens when people at the end of their tether contact the Samaritans ... In this deeply felt, absorbingly told novel, Monica Dickens not only vividly portrays three would-be suicides-but also the Samaritans themselves- Paul the ex-schoolmaster whose career has been ruined by an alcoholic wife, Victoria, half-engaged to a peer's conventional son, young Sarah who shimmers with youth and human compassion ... This is a story in Monica Dickens' inimitable style- salted with humour, and inspired with love.
