France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever—and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

I don’t know how I stumbled on this book, but I’m forever glad I did! Audiobook version is AWESOME! If you like epic tales, appreciate simple things, or need a reminder of just how precious our connections are, I strongly recommend this book!

A re-examined life
Revisado: 06-24-24
I don’t know if it was the author’s intent, but I’ve found myself reexamining my entire small town Mississippi life and wondering how many “shared experiences” I’ve had with people who didn’t have the same experience at all. Beautifully written. Masterful storytelling. Compelling characters. Enlightening.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Far better than I expected
Revisado: 06-12-24
If I’m honest, I picked this title based on a recommendation from a friend and the feeling it’d be enlightening. They were right to recommend it. It was enlightening (more than I expected). But it was also incredibly entertaining and interesting. I wish everyone who has ever had family drama (who hasn’t) or toxic people they love would read or listen to this book. I did audio version and felt like I was there.

Lamb's family strives to better their lives in Jackson, Mississippi, in the late 1930s. Lamb’s mother is a hard-working, creative seamstress who cannot reveal she's a lesbian. Lamb’s brother has a brilliant mind and has even earned a college scholarship for a black college up north—if only he could curb his impulsiveness and rebellious nature.

Incredibly powerful and relatable
Revisado: 11-12-23
This amazing story captured me immediately. The author weaves a relatable tale of a family striving to make the best of their simple lives while revealing some of the ugliest realities of human nature. It’s an extraordinary way to bring ALL readers (no matter age, race, or hometown) a greater understanding of the ugly truth about our nation’s racial divides. Incredibly well written, and the audiobook was awesomely performed.
