Read it, don't listen to it
Revisado: 06-30-19
The story is good and worth the read, but not nearly as good as some of the other WWII historical fiction books out there.
I normally love listing to the audio version of books but I'm sorry to say that this book was spoiled by the narrator. She tried way too hard with her "French" accent. She laid it on so thick it was hard to even understand what she was saying.
I'd recommend the book, just not the audio version.

So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say.

Wonderful story!
Revisado: 11-01-18
I loved this book. There are two separate but related stories that both pulled me in and I didn't want to stop reading/listening! I went back and forth between the Audible version and the Kindle version. I thought the narrator did a very good job with most of the characters. The only one she struggled with was Stephen. I think she had a hard time going from an Indian accent to a British accent in the same conversation. All in all a wonderful book that I highly recommend!

Historia
Danish countess Karen Blixon, known as Isak Dineson, ran a coffee plantation in Kenya in the years when Africa remained a romantic and formidable continent to most Europeans. Out of Africa is her account of her life there, with stories of her respectful relationships with the Masai, Kikuyu, and Somali natives who work on her land; the European friends who visit her; and the imposing permanence of the wild, high land itself.

Ho Hum
Revisado: 08-16-18
The narrator was very good but the sound quality was aweful! I wanted to hear this since I had recently listened to Circling the Sun. I thought I'd hear some of the love story from the other woman's point of view. Instead this story was very average. If you didn't know any of the background it would not have even made a whole lot of sense. If it had not been so short I would have given it up.

This was quite a book. The author did a fabulous job writing her own true story. I listened to the book on Audible which she also narrated and did a great job. I wholeheartedly recommend reading this book!

Way too long!
Revisado: 06-15-17
This is a nice story but it is way too long! The 20 hours took forever. I wanted to find out what happened so I didn't quit but I did listen at 1.25 speed for the entire book. After investing all of those hours, the ending was lackluster. I will say though that the narrator did a great job.

Great Short, Informative Book
Revisado: 10-26-16
This is a great, short and to-the-point instructive on how to evaluate, purchase and manage a rental property. I received the Audible version of this book in exchange for an honest review and as the owner of 2 rental properties, I was very interested to learn more on the subject. I will say that the book is spot on and pretty much covers all of the topics that a new investor would need to know.
The narration is great and enhanced the understanding of the content. If you are thinking of investing in rental property, I heartily recommend this book.

Engaging Multi-dimensional Mystery
Revisado: 10-26-16
This was a very enjoyable mystery with duel complex plot lines. It is book 2 in a series and I did not read book 1 but it didn’t matter as this is a stand alone book. Detective Leila Kahana is a likable detective and I thought all of the characters were well developed.
I received the Audible version of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. The narration by Jane Boyer was very good.
All and all this was an entertaining and enjoyable book to which I am glad that I listened. If you like mysteries, I would heartily recommend it!
