QuietWife

Enjoyable!

Revisado: 07-28-24

The Unmaking of June Farrow was a summer win for me. I initially started on Audible and then switched to Kindle so I could get to the ending faster.
For those comparing with The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, I'm not in that camp. I think Addie LaRue was more of a literary book.

Important!

Revisado: 06-10-24

This book resonated with me even more than Quiet. Quiet changed my life because I discovered what had been "wrong" with me my entire life. Introverts in the church narrowed the field even more. The most intensely important area of my life--my relationship with God--which in turn means I need to attend church.
Very, very good book. If nothing else--it helped show me I am not alone.

Crying as I Type

Revisado: 05-10-24

I found the story to be finely crafted. It had to unfold at its own pace and the ending left me well satisfied.

This story does have some terrifying violence. Son of Man is evil and belongs married in the pit to Cathy from East of Eden.

Superior narration and a novel written with enviable craftwork. I am delighted to have both read and listened to James.

No Jane Eyre

Revisado: 11-06-23

This is a fantastic reading of Rebecca! Highly recommend!
I still feel like Jane Eyre far outshines Rebecca. I need to find a Jane Eyre this well done on Audible!

So grateful this is on Audible

Revisado: 04-27-21

Just had to get used to narrator and pretty soon I didn’t hear him-only the message.
I have the book in print and would often reread what listened to.
So grateful for this book.

Excellent Narration

The wonderful narration helped me get through this classic; which I partly read and partly listened to.
So impressed with your reading Ms. Gyllenhaal!!

Exquisite

Revisado: 09-27-18

Covers are important to me, and my first impression was an annoyance because of the coloring similarity with The Great Alone. Because of this I nearly bypassed this superlative book. Strictly on a whim, I purchased the audio version and listened as I spent two days painting my kitchen. Being so enraptured with the story I also bought the Kindle version so that I could finish last night.
The writing is superior, I learned and appreciated the marsh (but didn't feel like facts were shoved down my throat), I enjoyed the poetry throughout, and I don't believe I will ever forget the story of the praying mantis.
Ms. Owens, you nailed it!!!!!!!! Thank you for these past days in your perfect novel!

Well Written but Painful

Revisado: 09-05-18

If I had not been painting my hallway while I listened, I am not sure I could have completed this story, not because it wasn't well written, but just because it hurt to hear. I am glad I did finish because in the end I am left believing that Eleanor IS completely fine.

Modern Mrs. Darcy Recommendation

Revisado: 08-06-18

One of the joys of this book was Mr. Bragg's reading; which made every chapter a Southern pleasure.
My husband and I are traveling from humid Fayetteville, North Carolina to equally sweaty Memphis, Tennessee next week, and I have already told him to be ready, as I've got an audiobook he's going to love. I can't imagine a more appropriate choice. My Southern husband is going to be nodding his head and trying to match every story of Mr. Bragg's with one of his own.
Thank you for sharing your talent, Mr. Bragg!
