Historia
Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish.

Timeline Issues
Revisado: 07-19-23
I loved the book but I was really bothered by the timeline issues. The pregnancy was in 2000 and the main story is 2010 which makes the child 9 years old but yet she has period cramps and they talk about boyfriends and crushes like she is 13 to 14. Then the school breaks in late 2010, Christmas and New year goes by and then late 2010 she goes back to school??? I know it's a small detail but I could not stop thinking about that.

Historia
Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Count not finish
Revisado: 09-27-21
I really gave this an attempt but I finally gave up and stopped the listening. The story was boring, I really kept hoping the excitement would start but it never did.

Historia
When a daring, high-tech CIA operation goes wrong and is disavowed, Michael Dunne sets out for revenge. CIA operations officer Michael Dunne is tasked with infiltrating an Italian news organization that smells like a front for an enemy intelligence service. Headed by an American journalist, the self-styled bandits run a cyber operation unlike anything the CIA has seen before. Fast, slick, and indiscriminate, the group steals secrets from everywhere and anyone, and exploits them in ways the CIA can neither understand nor stop.

Hard to follow

I liked the book but I almost returned it. The narrator was alway out of breath. The story was a little confusing in some spots.
