Great review, great book. I struggled to get my head around the challenges in metaethics many years ago when working on my masters thesis. I wish I'd had Parfit's OWM to refer to then. Parfit found plausible answers to many of the challenges that stumped me!
Thank you so much for this recommendation. The audiobook looks excellent as well - I've snapped it up. The story of him crying for Bach's composing time being cut short --to our loss-- is incredibly moving. I look forward to getting to know Parfitt better.

What do you make of Stephen Mulhall’s negative LRB review of Edmonds’ book?
I am very excited to read this one.

I am going to podcast with Edmonds in late June. What are your other questions? !
