With her remarkable insight into the human condition and silences that contain multitudes, Elizabeth Strout returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to her beloved cast of characters—Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and more—as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst, fall in love and yet choose to be apart, and grapple with the question, as Lucy Barton puts it, “What does anyone’s life mean?”

Historia
Bhima, the unforgettable main character of Thrity Umrigar’s beloved national best seller, The Space Between Us, returns in this triumphant sequel - a poignant and compelling novel in which the former servant struggles against the circumstances of class and misfortune to forge a new path for herself and her granddaughter in modern India. Poor and illiterate, Bhima had faithfully worked for the Dubash family, an upper-middle-class Parsi household, for more than 20 years.

Historia
1867, Richmond, Virginia: Though she wears the same low-cut purple gown that is the uniform of all the girls who work at Worsham's gambling parlor, Arabella stands apart. It's not merely her statuesque beauty and practiced charm. Even at seventeen, Arabella possesses an unyielding grit, and a resolve to escape her background of struggle and poverty. Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is drawn to Arabella from their first meeting. Collis is married and 30 years her senior, yet they are well-matched in temperament, and flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair.

Loved learning about this time in History and the remarkable rise of Arabella Huntington! Fascinating story…The narrator captured the characters with ease and consistency (with their multiple accents from Virginia to Texas, NY and Europe) Very enjoyable listen.

Awesome story of friendship, loss and acceptance.

Beautiful story with wonderful characters and a lovely message. The narration was excellent: Both main characters were portrayed with such earnestness and youthful energy that I couldn’t help but fall in love with them. I would highly recommend this to both YA readers and adults.

Law school graduate and newlywed Ruth Appelbaum is acclimating to life and marriage in a posh Philadelphia neighborhood.

Good Narration keeps story entertaining
Revisado: 11-29-22
I was happy for the lively narration to this story. It brought the different characters to life. I especially enjoyed Ruth’s character(and the narrator’s choice for her steady and grounded voice amongst all the other female voices) I also enjoyed learning more about the 60’s and how women dealt with societies blinders regarding domestic violence

Historia
For Meridian Wallace - and many other smart, driven women of the 1940s - being ambitious meant being an outlier. Ever since she was a young girl, Meridian had been obsessed with birds, and she was determined to get her PhD, become an ornithologist, and make her mother's sacrifices to send her to college pay off. But she didn't expect to fall in love with her brilliant physics professor, Alden Whetstone. When he's recruited to Los Alamos, New Mexico, to take part in a mysterious wartime project, she reluctantly defers her own plans and joins him.

Loved the evolution of the main character and the description of bird behavior and how it mirrors human behavior. The historical context was seamlessly integrated into this compelling story. Good narration ( which is something quite rare)

How does someone give their heart away when they don't have all of the pieces? Not that Makenna really wants a second chance at love anyway. She is stuck in her tragic past, secretly living every day for her deceased fiancé, while her new boyfriend, Drew, is gently nudging her into the present. Desperate to appear normal again, she slaps on a happy face and goes through the motions of a normal, healthy relationship - but with the exception of even a single kiss.

Enjoyable story with excellent narration
Revisado: 08-27-14
Gail Shalan's voice is soothing, yet animated. She brings great definition to each character (male and female) The multiple characters go through many emotions and personality development, which are subtly yet powerfully evoked by the narrator. The tone used for the main character made me sense Mac's underlying strength - which emerges as the book progresses. This was a very enjoyable recording.
