It’s not presented as a quick fix.

I liked the practical application and the realness with which he presented this topic. Also the willingness to share that he loses touch with his awe from time to time. It’s always in evolution and the importance of trust in yourself to find it again.

The historical details are fantastic

As usual, Maggie O’Farrells story construction is a part of the spellbinding fascination that draws me in. She leaves me wanting the story to go on and on
PS i know it’s a great story when the characters speak to me in my daily life ❤️

A balance between the particulars and the wide angle lens of the story

Mesmerized I was. All 31 hours lol. A story of love and it’s wide ranging consequences - loved the sayings and inside surgical knowledge.

The reading and the story make a magnificent whole that exceeded my expectation. I enjoyed the re-experiencing of all types of love, loss, infidelities,and anxieties - this story gave me the ability to hold it out in front of me for examination was illuminating. Thank you!

Left wanting more

Revisado: 12-09-23

MOF does not disappoint- downright normal lives containing everything from tedium to tragedy, portrayed in delicious details. She plays on a sense of time that is simultaneously slowed way down and speeded up. Delightful.

The style and story development - my heart ached as I read.

Revisado: 11-25-23

Absolutely could not stop listening to- this is the first book in forever that has hooked me and wouldn’t let me go. The mysterious weaving of lives and details, ordinary observations, and what is does to my desire when she gives away a detail like “what she couldn’t know was that she would die young”. I mean who tells you that prematurely? But it works. I am in love with MOF!

I wasn’t afraid because I felt like I belonged here (about traveling in the Middle East- paraphrased)

Revisado: 06-03-23

I thoroughly enjoyed the book - the level of detail just right; but this phrase stopped me in my tracks. It made me wonder how so very many lives could feel safer, free from the bone deep belief of the opposite- I don’t belong here and all it’s variations of unworthiness- if we could refrain the nervous system to understand we are safe. We do belong in this world, no matter where we go. I may not be explaining my thoughts well but I think others who need this nugget will understand. Thank you Luke for the whole book- your honesty and vulnerability came through - and thank you for this particular passage of your Middle East travels.
