life is rarely what one expects

Revisado: 04-13-25

a wonderful, moving Indian novel, touching on true friendship, caste differences in India, Thr temple prostitutes, and the NGOs doing their best to save the young girls from them.

The incredibility of no acknowledge

Revisado: 03-28-25

I liked the details descriptions of Franky's medical involvement, Feelings and descriptions of the destitude of a terrible war , I abhored the lack of acceptance, acknowledgement, and treatment of the veterans, especially the woman. Franky's romantic involvement, the pregnancy the miscarriage. the stroke, the car accident. the meeting of Roy again were too much in my opinion, causing the book to be a mediocre fast read. Thank you Kristin Hannah, for your important input, and for naming other books on this important subject

The strength of life

Revisado: 12-19-24

I loved this book from start to end, the characters, the depth of feeling of each, the incredulous will and strength of Isabelle and so much more. I am living in a country that has been at war for over a year, and so many young men are suffering from post trauma. the horrors of WWII were known to me ,

Chemistry and the attitude towards women .

Revisado: 11-26-24

I felt there was much imagination in the book which I really liked, both the characters and the story. The approach was unique, taking facts that could happen anywhere and putting them all together caused the story to be less credible and yet the main point of women not beinf taken seriously came thru very strongly

A woven tale

Revisado: 10-23-24

I liked the endless intriguing tale, never a dull moment , making it hard to put down. It seemed to me very much a made up fairy tale, however, after hearing so many real stories of lives, anything can be possible, especially where there is a witch -Idaline, stirring the brew. Thank you Kate Morton for taking me away to other worlds. Thank you Caroline Lee for excellent reading.
suggestion to C.L. Brush up on your Australian accent.

An amazing account

Revisado: 05-15-24

Philippe Sands succeeds in both telling a personal story and the devopment of two most important aspects of the wrongs of the human species. The description of the characters , their feelings or lack of them , at the time of their doing and later during the Nurenbyrg trials is impeccable. The suspence is kept throughout the book. I have and continue to reccomend this book as a must read.

Primo Levi , how lucky for us he survived, how wonderful he writes.

Revisado: 02-01-24

This marvelous book has been sitting on my bookshelf for many years, waiting for the right time to address. It began slowly so I decided to perk it up by adding the audible version. The impecable narration added much to enjoying the stories, some better, some less, like life itself -good times and many not so good. As I have knowledge of chemistry and biology, I could follow the themes and ideas of each element, while becoming absorbed by the turbulent history of thev
the period of his life. The wording, vocabulary and ability of description are excellent. Thank you

Amazing endever

Revisado: 09-19-23

sometimes loved it, other times found it almost boring , going on and on with no direction, but eventually totally got caught in the magic of this fantastic and tragic story, in the unfolding of stories within each with its own moral or commentary on todays western turn , even in traditional India. A must read again .
