What did you love best about All Waiting Is Long?
I absolutely loved the characters in their new roles as young adults going through the most difficult of times. Mostly Violet as she always fought to make life wonderful for Daisy through love and faith and no matter what it cost her. She did this in a quietly and dignified manner. The stakes were high but doing the right thing was the most important thing of all not for herself but for the sweet child. I also loved the way the author enlightens us with the details of the city of Scranton the mentions of famous buildings, streets and all the unmentionables. I feel like my Dad was still with me sharing one of his own stories or two from his youth. I was able to relate to the community as it is my hometown. The historical buildings still stand with there grandeur and I am always gazing up to take in all the intricate details of the buildings. The stories our parents and grandparents spoke of were undoubtedly true. Oh my the goings on that went on, no wonder why the woman of faith were staunch and righteous and Barbara takes us back into the 1930 and opens our eyes to what life was like in small towns just starting to grow. I can't wait for next book . I'm sure it will be just as amazing !!!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Violet as she always fought to make life wonderful for Daisy through love and faith and no matter what it cost her. She did this in a quietly and dignified manner. How can you not love Violet ?
What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?
This was my first time using an Audible performance. Tavia Gilbert did an amazing performance. I had to rewind a few times to listen again and again as I wasn't sure if their were more then one person doing the readings. I could easily put Lily's voice to her character through Tavia's performance she really brought the book to life.
If you could take any character from All Waiting Is Long out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would take Violet out to dinner as she is the most deserving of a night out.
Any additional comments?
Thank you Barbara for your gift of writing I enjoyed this book so much.
Please give us more :)
