Moving story about commitment and love

Revisado: 05-01-24

I loved this story! The story spanned 3 generations and 2 wars with commitment and love omnipresent. The author does speak of war atrocities but only to the point necessary for the conveyance of the story and the depth of character. So, although this is mostly set in WWII northern Italy, it isn't a WWII novel. The story is empowering and uplifting. My ancestors being from Northern Italy really makes an additional connection

WWI Story of Devotion, Determination, and Dreams

Revisado: 04-10-24

I have found myself drawn to historical fiction especially WWI and WWII era stories and this story didn’t disappoint. I really liked all of the characters and the grit of the main character, Gwen. The narrator did a beautiful job telling the story, Gwen’s voice, and most of the other female voices, but the male voices were terrible. I found Captain Chamberlain’s voice especially annoying and unrealistic.
Despite the annoying male voices, the story is was very enjoyable.

Great story-couldn’t put it down

Revisado: 07-13-23

I loved this story. It spanned different times, locations, and lives and entwined them wonderfully. I experienced a wide array of emotions and feelings during the life of this story. The main characters are all very different but their interactions and stories demonstrate how people who come from very different backgrounds, have very different experiences and hold very different thoughts can all be solidly connected.
Saskia Maarleveld is an amazing narrator. She has the best storytelling abilities and voice.
I strongly recommend this book especially to those enjoy historical based fiction and/or stories of strong women

Amazing story

Revisado: 02-11-23

This was a wonderful, suspenseful and educational story. I loved the “afterward” giving the basis f the characters and the history of the time.

Very interesting story

Revisado: 01-26-23

I would recommend this story for anyone who is interested in the Chanel story; so much history as the backdrop of great personal stories of strength and persistence. The narrator was amazing

Very interesting story

This story was very interesting and showed the strength of Queen Mum. I am hopeful there’s a follow up/part 2 continuing her story.

Enjoyable story

Revisado: 11-11-21

I enjoyed the story and it's twists and turns. The new narrator was "ok" but made Kitty sound pompous which is not her character

LOVED Win!

Revisado: 09-29-21

I chose this book without knowing anything about the Myron Bolitar series and absolutely LOVED it. The twists and turns were always unexpected and true to Harlan Coben’s style but I especially enjoyed the main character-Win. He was a welcome change from the traditional leading man - even the badass ones. I hope there’s another WIn novel!
