Maybe Graham's best yet!

Revisado: 02-02-25

Beautifully written, with finely-drawn, believable and likeable characters, perfectly narrated by Graham. The kind of story where you're sorry to reach the end and you miss the people afterward! I've ordered a printed copy to pass around. Love it.

Couldn't get through it. . .

It's a promising plot/premise, but it's ruined (for me) by too much flowery writing, filler detail and overdrama.

Nice intro to those who served.

Revisado: 03-13-24

I'm aware that I'm not in Ms Hannah's target demographic, and I didn't enjoy it as much as others do and will. I listened to the first half, then skipped the second half until the last chapter. In the afterword Ms Hannah listed source books which were accounts from real nurses who served in Vietnam, and I've listened to several of those and have mined the many related resources on YouTube. So. . .I'm very grateful for the introduction to the real people and events which this book provides.

Compelling story, but flawed audio presentation!

Revisado: 12-10-23

I agree with all the previous reviews disparaging the overly dramatic and extraneous and unnecessary musical additions to the narrative. They do NOTHING to improve the audiobook. Narrator is fine. You at Audible have had enough complaints now to re-master the recording and take out EVERYTHING but the narrator. As for the story. . .I found the ending a bit preachy and pat as well as quite abrupt. But overall I really enjoyed the story and am now looking forward to watching the movie "Oppenheimer" in conjunction. Also looking forward to more Kanon titles.

I’m always in awe at how well-written there books are. These characters are alive in the pages and in my mind, and it’s so satisfying.

Wish I could give this extra stars!!!

I was skeptical when I started, but soon became hooked. There were many chances for it to get hinky, but it never went off the rails and I celebrated how each crisis was handled. Loved the characters! Going right into the sequel. Thanks guys!!!

I didn't want it to end. . .

Yes, I'll go ahead and add to the multiples of times it's been said: the author is a genius. This book is dense and meticulously written. It took me a bit to get used to listening to all the online conversations, but I absolutely love the characters and enjoy so much being in their company. The author puts the reader right there with them, without excessive, forced descriptive language. I confess I'm a bit weary of Strike and Robin's continual dance around each other after 5 years. . .the series certainly wouldn't be ruined for me if they finally revealed themselves to each other and became a grounded couple.

Great story, well done!

Revisado: 12-07-22

This story immerses you in Hawaiian culture and environment. . .and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main character is realistic and appealing, and there's just enough touch of supernatural without going overboard (!). Recommended.

It was promising. . .

Interesting unique character, interesting unique writing voice. . .but the story got so dark I just gave up and went to other books.
