Amazing story and amazing reading and amazing translation

Revisado: 10-03-24

Amazing amazing amazing. Highly highly recommend. Sancho Panza and his parables are priceless. And we should all live life a little crazy like Don Quijote.

Too much yelling and misunderstanding

Revisado: 05-22-24

Narrator was too angry, so much misunderstanding, couldn’t get behind the characters, glad it worked out but it was cringe worthy

Nice story but predictable

Revisado: 05-21-24

I liked the setting and premise
It got to be too cliché and I started to feel preached at concerning empowering mottos and feminist notions. The cottage rules were sweet, but overdone.
Why oh why does every woman in a story either start a bakery or a bed and breakfast?

The lack of ingenuity

Revisado: 05-16-24

Just ok. If I read “twitching lips” one more time…. Heroine not truly lovable. Weak.

Ok but a bit preachy

Revisado: 03-04-24

This has the potential to be a really fun story but the performance really wasn’t great. The main female character just couldn’t seem to get it together. The performance was really lacking, especially when it came to the little girl. It really got preachy at the end and I’m a very religious person, so that’s saying a lot.
Skip this one.

Pretty good but not perfect

Revisado: 01-29-24

Overall, it was all right. I felt like the performances were a bit on the dramatic side. Not very realistic at all. Lots of sighing and such. Got annoying after awhile.

I was frustrated with some of the character’s choices. They didn’t seem consistent with what a character would have done in that situation. But it was a nice getaway for a little while from doing laundry .

I could’ve done without the lack of propriety . You just don’t need sex to sell a truly good book.

Only three stars.

Reader could have tried a little more differentiation and energy

Reader could have tried a little more differentiation and energy. But he did well enough to be entertaining and I still enjoyed it very much.

Not as good as I had hoped

Revisado: 10-28-23

Perhaps it’s my modern impatience, but this story does not move quickly enough for the substance of the tale. There is a lot of uninteresting historical side commentary that doesn’t contribute to the plot in any way. I would much prefer to read an abridged version. The reader has a beautiful voice, but does not demonstrate very much skill in portraying. Multiple personalities. Especially men’s voices. Everyone sounds a little dopey. Like they have their nose plugged. Not terrible. But just not as good as other readers. But a beautiful woman’s voice.

I didn’t like ANY of the characters

Revisado: 07-31-23

In this book there was a major flaw. I definitely couldn’t cheer for the main character. There was nothing redeeming about who she was, how she behaved, and how she treated others. I also didn’t find her love match to be all that enticing. It didn’t seem like Anna, the lead character, did anything of value or worth.

The story was quite contrived, and seemed rather forced to follow a template of what romantic authors think their audience is after.

The performance also added to my dislike of the main character, as she seemed rather flippant in her performance. All of the characters started to sound the same near the end, and I wondered if the last chapter hadn’t even been read over before she actually performed it as it was filled with errors.

I recommend saving yourself the time and money and selecting a different book.

A timeless story with incredible narration!

Revisado: 07-20-23

This is an epic tale, but it is extensive. Thandiwe Newton is the best storyteller I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for taking me on this amazing journey.
