Annoying narration and silly story. Not clever a tall. Could not stomach it to finish. Maybe the end is redeeming.

I am interested in this book and will choose to read a hard copy. The narrator is too empathetic in reading style making it difficult to listen to. It is rare for an author to be able to read his own work well as everything receives the same spoken emphasis.

The story is interesting. Most authors have difficulties carrying their own narration. This one was not an exception. It was somewhat difficult to listen to because the author is very emphatic in her tone throughout the narrative. I found the two storylines compelling and challenging to how I view those who are "invisible" in our society: cancer patients, refugees (I have volunteered with refugees for years) and then those who society outcasts for other reasons. The author accurately records the struggles of the refugees and immigrants. I also appreciate the author being open about her own struggles with cancer and God. However, I thought I was tracking with the timelines of the two stories but the last five-six chapters left me confused on this spot. And since these timelines were very important to the story line and the author's development, I think these timelines needed to be clearly portrayed throughout the book.

The author is very descriptive in her writing. You can imagine the scenes and characters. The story itself is interesting but the consecutive telling of many generations makes it a challenge to follow.

I will look for more of this narrator’s work. Caroline Lewis is exceptional in her ability to read stories into life.
