In January 1918, as World War I raged on, a new and terrifying virus began to spread across the globe. In three successive waves, from 1918 to 1919, influenza killed more than 50 million people. German soldiers termed it Blitzkatarrh, British soldiers referred to it as Flanders Grippe, but worldwide, the pandemic gained the notorious title of “Spanish flu”. Nowhere on earth escaped: the United States recorded 550,000 deaths (five times its total military fatalities in the war) while European deaths totaled more than two million.

Strangest Narrator
Revisado: 07-30-20
I have the hard copy of this book but enjoy listening to books so I don't keep falling asleep while actually reading. The narrator used the British military rank of Left Tenet (I have no idea if thats proper spelling, apologies) during parts in the book when the author wrote about American soldiers specifically Lieutenants. Its pronounced Lou-tenet or you would just call them LT. I'm a veteran and it drove me crazy listening when they were on a navy ship or army base in the states and he would say Left-Tenet I got confused and had to "rewind" to make sure we were still on the topic of what was happening in America or to U.S troops. It was jarring to me. When I got to an easy part in the book I was able to find out it was really Lieutenant he was messing up. I wonder if anyone else who knows U.S.Army rank too got confused over it as well? Not the narrator I would have chosen for a decent and informative book like this. I want to listen again but it was kind of irritating when the narrator didn't read the exact words in the book. I wonder if the author knows?

Mark and Giulia's life together began as a storybook romance. They fell in love at 18, married at 24, and were living their dream life in San Francisco. When Giulia was 27, she suffered a terrifying and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. One day she was vibrant and well adjusted; the next she was delusional and suicidal, convinced that her loved ones were not safe.

Incredibly annoying narrator.
Revisado: 05-22-20
The story is so incredibly powerful. Absolutely moving. However the narrator is utterly atrocious. Awful snooty voice he makes for the wife and poor Jonas. His voice wasn't much better. I guess the dog would have sounded like scooby doo.

Fantastic Historical Fiction Novel
Revisado: 06-18-19
I do love the city books by Rutherfurd. Sarum and New York are my favorites so far. However it felt a little bit like this ending was rushed. It could of course seem that way though because to me it was just a really good story I didn't want to end.

The author reading the story is such a treasure to hear, to take in, to really know and feel the characters in the story. Alice Walkers voice is so tender and truly wonderful to hear her emphasis in the words.
