Complex and engaging story

Revisado: 03-12-24

The narrator for this book was excellent. She made the characters completely come to life. The story was thrilling and disheartening. Whether the character was morally ambiguous, courageous, or reprehensible, they wove together a story that is rather unforgettable.

What a lovely walk through Beatrix Potter’s gardening life. The vivid descriptions of gardens in the story make you want to sit down with a cup of tea and savor the experience. I will listen again, I’m sure. Narrator was lovely too.

Powerfully moving story

I am always fascinated and often disturbed when fiction books are based on historical events. This story grabbed me by the collar and wouldn’t let go. Such a well told story and the narrators were excellent. I highly recommend.

Now that I have finished this audiobook, I sit here a bit bewildered. What a powerful, deeply meaningful book. I love books that shake me like this and leave me wondering what is next when I finished. I can’t speak highly enough of the story and I grew to love the narrator as well.

Excellent book

Revisado: 02-25-23

What a well researched book. The history of Home Economics is complex and sometimes reflected history as it was but at other time was incredibly forward thinking and even radical. I appreciate that this history wasn’t white washed. The author explored the racism and even eugenics within the movement and certainly the challenges of functioning within a deeply patriarchal society. It was fascinating to read about the powerful personalities that shaped the profession but also how the profession suffered when the leadership retired or died. Every aspect of this book was fascinating. Also, the narrator was excellent.

A lovely, captivating story about making do as well as growing during WWII. The narrator’s American accent could do with some improving but otherwise, a fine job .
