A lost story worth telling

Revisado: 05-12-24

The audio version was awful.
What should have been the voices of young strong servicemen, sounded more like angry, screeching or dying animals.
Why does an author allow the reader to ruin their hard work and effort?

What?

Revisado: 03-25-23

Although a great amount of research went into this book, I felt like I was watching a college freshman jumping all over the opportunities to pick and chose classes to finally settle into a major. And for what? It certainly did not add to the story. Egyptology, quantum physics, end of life doulas, self analysis. All interesting by themselves, but annoyingly overdone in a book of fiction. And for me splitting the time line just didn’t work. Especially, the plane crash where was she alone or with Wyatt?

Curious minds need to know. . .

Revisado: 12-08-22

The first thought I had as I read this book was that it should be suggested reading for High Schoolers. At a time when we too often ignore history, delete history and deny history, it provides a glimpse into a part of WW11 that is often never remembered, not discussed or skipped over.
What a wonderful, well written book to bring history alive to curious minds of all ages.

Excellent Narrator

Revisado: 11-14-22

Finally, a narrator that fit the characters and made the story believable. So many good books are ruined by the reader(s)

Read, don’t listen

Revisado: 10-25-22

A predictable, yet entertaining story that mostly takes place in a rural Alabama town where culture, family expectations and disappointments weave a story that starts to hold your interest.
Then the narration quickly becomes cumbersome as the 3 narrators seem to be lost in their task. Accents, inflections, change of character, southern drawls, and sometimes screeching were so distracting to the storyline that you had no idea who was reading what.
For an author to allow this is mind boggling to me. A good story ruined by the narrators.
And the voice assigned to the 2 year old. Thats when I stopped listening !!!
First book ever on audible I couldn’t finish due to the narrators.

Didn’t finish. . .

Revisado: 07-23-22

I was very much looking forward to, and soon engaged with this story about a part of WWll I had little information on. However, I had downloaded the book to audible as my entertainment for an overseas flight. For me, this should have been a “read” and not a “listen to” kind of book.
I struggled with the never ending use of accents and dialects, along with the authors writing in French and German for full sentences or phrases with no interpretation. I finally gave up after even slowing down the speed of the reader which provided little relief.
If you are fluent in several foreign languages, go for it. If not, get a print copy to enjoy the novel.

A must read

Revisado: 12-28-18

Every individual and family faces an aging, terminally ill or severely damaged loved one at some time in their lifetime. What to do? Better to think about it before it happens

Poor Performance

Revisado: 12-14-18

I can’t understand why an author with a decent story line and novel can allow a performance such as the one for this book. At times it was just fine, but when going into character it was horrible. I felt like the “characters” were sucking on helium and that Donald Duck had joined the party. It was so distracting

Not an easy book to read, but do it!

Revisado: 11-18-17

Sometimes there are things we like to believe just don’t exist. But they do. And it is only by acceptance and understanding that we can change what needs to be changed. What an insight to the criminal mind.

Well worth the read

Revisado: 11-05-17

There is nothing to not embrace about this book, and I rarely give 5 across the board. To begin with, the reader(s) were so perfect for their parts. One of the best performances I have ever come across. Also, this historical novel gave such insight into a complex and disturbing part of how war touches everyone.
