This sprawling and often brutal novel, set in the rich farmlands of California's Salinas Valley, follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel.

Two days before Christmas 1996, the broken, battered body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found outside her vacation home in West Cork, a serene region on Ireland’s idyllic southern coast. Decades later, no one has been charged with the murder, but the aggrieved inhabitants of West Cork are convinced they know who did it - and he still lives among them.

Great Story
Revisado: 09-06-18
As a lifelong Alaskan I was a little skeptical that the author would get it right, but she did! True descriptions and vivid displays of accuracy for my home state. Story was serious dealing with some extreme issues but well done. I recommend this book.

Fly Away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other - plus a miracle - to transform their lives. An emotionally-complex, heart-wrenching novel about love, family, motherhood, loss, and redemption, Fly Away reminds us that where there is life, there is hope and where there is love, there is forgiveness. Told with her trademark visceral storytelling and illuminating prose, Kristin Hannah reveals why she is one of the most beloved writers of our day.

Pretty Book Cover. One Darned Depressing Novel

- Fly Away
- De: Kristin Hannah
- Narrado por: Susan Ericksen
Very moving story
Revisado: 07-08-16
Would you listen to Fly Away again? Why?
Yes, although I wanted to return it after listening to the beginning chapters, but I was determined to keep listening as I know this author is good. The description of the character in the beginning was tedious to listen to as she was a pain in the neck and sounded like a whiney brat. Once the story continued and the other characters were introduced the story became very compelling and I understood the set up of this character. By that time I could not break away from it! Several times before I finished the book I was so glad I had not given up on it as it turned out to be a very remarkable story, although sad and tragic it was full of beauty and happiness as well. I recommend this story.
Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?
Dorothy
If you could take any character from Fly Away out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Tully
Any additional comments?
Good book!

Awesome Listen
Revisado: 12-21-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Listening Is an Act of Love to be better than the print version?
Oh most definitely! To hear the emotions in the story teller's voices and feel what they were describing was very nice.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Listening Is an Act of Love?
The story of the soldier who wanted to buy a ticket to watch a movie in a theater, that story really touched me.
What does Dave Isay bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His introduction at the beginning, he frames it very nicely and sets the listener up with anticipation and it certainly does not disappoint! I will miss Dave Isay, what a great guy!

Yes, I will listen to it again in the future as well.
Any additional comments?

Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. She purchases a local bed-and-breakfast - the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn - ready to begin her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine. Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope that they can reconcile. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua's high school days proves to him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom where it's least expected.

This is the tale of Amy and her daughter and the people who helped raise them after Amy found herself a reluctant single parent. It is a story of frequent failures and surprising successes, as Amy starts and loses careers, bumbles through blind dates, and travels across the country with her daughter. All roads, though, lead them back to her hometown of Freeville (pop. 458), a tiny village where Amy's family has lived for over 200 years.
