When Norman Eisen moved into the US ambassador’s residence in Prague, returning to the land his mother had fled after the Holocaust, he was startled to discover swastikas hidden beneath the furniture in his new home. These symbols of Nazi Germany were remnants of the residence’s forgotten history, and evidence that we never live far from the past.

Interesting story - horrible reading
Revisado: 06-20-24
The story itself is good. I’m not sure the last portion adds much to be story.
The problem is the reading. His female voices were horrible. He also sounded like he was yawning or running out of breath. Then there were a few times that a word or phrase seemed to be spliced in.
He enunciated the foreign words well.

Heiresses: Surely they are among the luckiest women on earth. Are they not to be envied, with their private jets and Chanel wardrobes and endless funds? Yet all too often those gilded lives have been beset with trauma and despair. Before the 20th century a wife’s inheritance was the property of her husband, making her vulnerable to kidnap, forced marriages, even confinement in an asylum. And in modern times, heiresses fell victim to fortune-hunters who squandered their millions.

Very hard to follow!
Revisado: 04-29-24
Maybe this is a book that needs to be read, but it is very hard to follow. It jumps around the entire time comparing heiresses to one another. Also, the audio isn’t broken up into chapters. There is a lot of historical information, but if you have adhd, like I do, you will be left wondering what you just spent 12 hours of your life listening to!
