Totally unique

Revisado: 05-04-25

I enjoyed the interconnected storylines. The author did a beautiful job of creating multiple fully formed characters that I empathized with. I’m admittedly a prude, so a smattering of intimate descriptions were fast-forward-fodder for me. Who knew beetle sex could make me blush?
All in all good fun. This should make for an engaging book club discussion!

Easy listen

Revisado: 09-27-24

Well, the virtual voice was better than I expected it to be, but I much prefer a live reader. This is definitely a hallmark romance. Not high art but nice, easy listening if you want some thing, a little romantic, not raunchy, not depressing.

A delight!

Revisado: 05-23-24

I loved the characters. I loved the way the “mystery“ was crafted in a unique format, having us know the answer, but waiting for the characters to discover it. A totally pleasurable read.
I personally don’t care for profanity or explicit content. For others wondering about this. There are perhaps 2 f-words, and a lot of the S-word. No explicit content , one instance of inferred intimacy.
Lovely book!

Sheer delight!

Revisado: 05-15-24

I loved this book. I listened to it on a car ride and the hours flew by! Watching this friendship develop gradually over the course of years through exchanged letters was so fulfilling and delightful. I wiped tears from my eyes at the close. This was an absolute treat ! Highly recommend if you enjoy wry wit, and are a rather sentimental sort.

Spellbinding, raw, beautiful

I just loved it. Her descriptions
of the nonsensical way one’s mind can work when in mourning or crisis is so acute; it’s fresh, heartbreaking, unflinching and lovely all at once.

Good for grownups too!

Revisado: 09-05-22

I have thoroughly enjoyed this delightful series. I’m a woman in my 50s and I know that these books are crafted with the intent to appeal to a youthful audience, which I’m sure they do! But i love them too. The narrator is absolutely phenomenal. Her command of voices and accents both male and female is top-notch. Highly recommend!

Insightful and thought provoking

Revisado: 06-10-22

I am a very sensitive person, so truthfully sometimes I’m not able to read books that deal with sad or depressing topics because it affects my mood too much. (Judge me if you must) We read this book in my book club and I was a little nervous that it would be something difficult for me. I thought the author did a wonderful job of sharing all of the challenges and heartbreaks of their experience in a very factual clear way, which somehow did not bring me down. I don’t know how he did it but I’m thankful because I feel like I learned so much from this book and it will change the way I interact with the world and refugees in particular. I’m glad I read it!

Emma Thompson is perfection!

Revisado: 05-27-22

I remember years ago when I read a paper version of Emma. It was a very difficult read and I would have to read, and reread passages to gain their meaning. In this audible version, Emma Thompson’s narration communicates the meaning so flawlessly, clearly and dare I say… Effervescently? It’s remarkable! The weaving together of dramatization with narration was really effective. All of the actors did a fine job but Ms. Thompson stole the show. This was a completely delightful listen!

Sweet, enjoyable listen

I genuinely enjoyed this sweet tale. I felt like I got to know and care about the characters. I enjoyed how the writer took their time to develop the romance. I listened to it on a long drive. It kept me awake and engaged, and smiling.

Utterly fascinating

Revisado: 09-09-21

I learned a lot about World War II that I hadn’t really understood previously. Amazing tales of heroism and personal sacrifice for the greater good.
