Wonderfully written
Revisado: 10-13-17
A historical love story during WWII mirrored with present day.
The variety of narrators gave each character their own voice and character.
I didn't want this book to end, so pleased the author, Jillian Cantor has written more to enjoy.

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France. An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

A good book to listen to.

Quirky characters, heartwarming and fun to listen to. Narrated by George Newbem did a good in the adaptation of characters, especially Ove. I'm glad I had it on audible, would have missed interpretation of Ove

Their best-selling memoir, Come Back, moved and inspired with the story of Mia Fontaine's harrowing drug addiction and her mother, Claire's, desperate and ultimately successful attempts to save her. Now it's a decade later. At 51, Claire's shed her identity as Mia's savior but realizes that, oops, she forgot to plan for life after motherhood; Mia, 25 and eager to step outside her role as recovery's poster child, finds adult life isn't all it's cracked up to be.

A must read for mom's of adult daughters!
Revisado: 08-14-12
Would you listen to Have Mother, Will Travel again? Why?
I have gotten so much from the first time, not sure I will need to.
What did you like best about this story?
It describes life after motherhood so well, also validates so much!
Which character – as performed by Claire Fontaine and Mia Fontaine – was your favorite?
Related all to well to Claire, but enjoyed Mia's take on her mom and life.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It is laugh out loud funny. The book made me want more from my relationship with my adult daughter. No more "walking on eggshells"
Any additional comments?
Encouraging my daughter to read/listen to this book. I love when the author/authors narrate the book. So much more is shared and felt.
