What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion.

Memory and history have been Penelope Lively’s terrain in fiction over a career that has spanned five decades. But she has only rarely given listeners a glimpse into her influences and formative years. Dancing Fish and Ammonites traces the arc of Lively’s life, stretching from her early childhood in Cairo to boarding school in England to the sweeping social changes of Britain’s 20th century. She reflects on her early love of archeology, the fragments of the ancients that have accompanied her journey - including a sherd of Egyptian ceramic depicting dancing fish and ammonites found years ago on a Dorset beach.

Great book, terrible narrator
Revisado: 03-18-14
Would you consider the audio edition of Dancing Fish and Ammonites to be better than the print version?
I can't compare the two as I haven't read the print version, but the language of the book is quite exceptional. The trouble is I can't "enjoy" the book because I truly dislike the narrator's voice, her flow, the intonation of her voice, the cadence. I really don't like listening to her and it takes away from the author's beautiful message.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dancing Fish and Ammonites?
I'm still listening to it, but the soft humanity of life, living, and death. What it means to grow old -- how one doesn't envy youth or crave to live longer -- but how to live life elegantly as an older person and enjoy the peace and wisdom one gains throughout life. Finally, in age, one is able to know ones self and exercise the honesty in which a life well lived can softly take it's rest.
What didn’t you like about Kelly Birch’s performance?
I can't explain it, but her voice is not relaxing or welcoming. This book should be read in the voice of someone who is older, wiser, deeper. It is a book written by an older woman and therefore an older person should have narrated. I truly dislike listening to Ms. Birch read this book, but all is made up for in Penelope Lively's excellent and beautiful writing.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I listen to it in the car and so I knew I would listen to it at different times and in chunks of one hour or so.
Any additional comments?
I recommend getting a new narrator. I hate saying this about Kelly Birch, but she's just not the right person for this book. Her voice is abrasive and takes away from really enjoying the story.
