Felt all the feelings

Revisado: 07-10-23

I laughed and cried out loud. Great characters and a wonderful look at all of the different sides of adoption. Being an adoptive mother I could relate so much to this story and the various views so beautifully woven together.

Excellent narration!

Revisado: 01-16-23

Tawnya did a great job narrating this book with its vast array of characters. The story started off a bit slow for me but got better and more cohesive as it moved along. Provided an interesting look at history of that part of the country that isn’t often heard.

Delightful story

Revisado: 08-09-21

Such a sweet story of how one person can make such a difference through simple acts of kindness . The characters were charming and the story unfolded so beautifully. The narrator was amazing and really brought the story to life. This book will brighten your day and make you want to be a better person.

Not great

Revisado: 06-20-21

The story had some interesting parts and portrayed the difficulties that immigrants must deal with when assimilating into America. However the characters weren’t fully developed or very likeable. The narration was very bad…it was difficult listening and detracted from the story.

Not my favorite

Revisado: 06-06-21

The book was interesting in painting a picture of what life was like during the Spanish flu epidemic, especially within the context of our recent events with COVID. However, the characters were not particularly compelling or believable and were too simplistic in their defined roles of “good” and “bad.”

Loved this book!

Revisado: 05-13-21

This book was a surprise but was a joy to listen to. The narrator was fantastic and the story was charming but also deep in the perspective it provides about our lives and how we live them and view our successes and failures.

Sweet story

Revisado: 04-17-21

I have found Lisa Jewels books hit or miss but I really enjoyed this story of self/discovery and found the characters endearing, imperfect and relatable. The narrator was great.

Another lovable quirky character

Revisado: 04-11-21

I love Backmans characters. Imperfect and quirky but lovable. The narrator really brought each character to life. This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen and made me smile.

Two sociopaths

Revisado: 04-11-21

This was a terrible story with two very unlikeable characters who were both really just selfish sociopaths. I thought the main character was finally going to redeem herself but then she just proved to be equally awful. This book is better left unread.

Interesting and inspiring

Revisado: 03-19-21

Interesting history of Australia and the convicts who helped to settle there. A good portrayal of strong women who overcame so much difficulty and the prejudices they faced. Excellent narration.
