As the only African-American soloist dancing with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has made history. But when she first placed her hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one expected the undersized, anxious 13-year-old to become a groundbreaking ballerina. Life in Motion is a story of passion and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.

Entertaining and thought provoking
Revisado: 09-18-12
Where does The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Good I tend to enjoy books that are interesting enough to hold my interest but not too full of tension. I like to relax when I listen. I have a lot of stress in my life
What did you like best about this story?
I was raised in the U.K and so I like the familiarity and descriptions of both charachters and countryside
What about Jim Broadbent’s performance did you like?
He is always superb in all that he does but just listening to his slow easy voice was a joy

I am a Marcia Willett Fan
Revisado: 03-19-12
Would you listen to A Week in Winter again? Why?
I listen to these stories over and over. Some people take sleeping pills and tranquilizers to relax and sleep. I just need a good English story with a good English narrator
Have you listened to any of Josephine Bailey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes - she is great
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not especially - I am always sorry to see them end
Any additional comments?
More of the same please

Bossy, impulsive, yet hopelessly romantic, Agatha is dreading the upcoming marriage of her ex-husband, James Lacey. Although she has set her sights on a handsome and beguiling new Frenchman, she can't quite stop obsessing about James. Her best intentions to move on with her life are put on hold when James's young bride is shot to death just minutes before saying "I do" and Agatha is named the prime suspect.

Somewhat disappointing
Revisado: 12-05-11
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I have always been a Penelope Keith fan but her voice just does not go for Agatha - I found it very irritating
What could M. C. Beaton have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
She does go on a bit
Would you be willing to try another one of Penelope Keith’s performances?
NO
