The listing provides aggregate ratings, with most ratings in the four- or five-star categories and a smaller share in the three-star category. This suggests a generally favourable but not unanimous reception. The figures do not identify what listeners liked or disliked, so they cannot establish whether the narration or the story’s maritime and family-secret elements will suit a particular listener.
