Summary
"Follow love and it will flee; flee love and it will follow thee." (Old Chinese proverb)

The things we do for love.
I actually listened to this a couple of years ago but forgot to review it, so I just listened again and decided to upgrade my star rating to 3.5 stars. This is the third of John I. Jones's short stories/novellas that I've listened to and I'm getting to recognise his style of writing. He has a sharp eye for characterisations and people's interactions and reactions to each other.
In The Agreement, Alma finds herself unable to pay for her daughter's last year at college and has to find a way to raise the funds. I couldn't help but sympathise with her as she rummages through her belongings to find anything of value and pays repeated visits to the bank manager in search of a loan.
I enjoyed the narration by Susan Marlowe, although I notice that she is not the narrator for the other two books I listened to.
