It’s heavy, but with SO much heart. Narration is by one of the very best, easy listening and spot on character portrayal

This was another fabulously written book by Margaret Atwood, however, the narrator used really should have been reserved for just Grace and then used another for the remaining portion of the story. Although linguistically, talented and believable as Grace, the talents were extremely limited for filling in the rest of the robust story. Something about the voice was just too beguiling and naïve. Fitting for Grace, but inappropriate for the rest of the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story, there are a lot of layers of interesting historical fiction. Still, I don’t know it’s some thing I would run to recommend to a friend. While it was somewhat of a psychological thriller, it was also very mundane through good portions of the book. I know there’s supposed to be some intrigue at the end, but I felt like it was just sort of unfinished rather than left open for our own perspective (which I think was the intention).

TJR’s writing always entertains me- love how she pulls in the other characters from past books, along with factual events from the era(s) she writes about.

This one wasn’t any different, pulled me in and I loved it. Not a tennis player or mega fan, but the story itself was still so good. Fun read. Just what I needed

It’s Arnold, honest and real. Him and his writing team did a fabulous job weaving all the pieces together in an easy to follow story. For as much ground as it covers every transition flows nicely and never reads clunky. I don’t think anyone who has actually followed Arnold over the years would be surprised by the ego or the antics, but they might be surprised by his depth and resourcefulness. I was.

Loved the book- Inspiring and entertaining.

This was an incredibly heavy story, but somehow made you feel so proud of the lead characters. I can’t say I love the ending but I understand it.

Character development was fantastic throughout, for as many people as she wrote into the story she made them feel real. Some authors can barely do that with a few characters let alone handfuls.

The story was good, there could have been more character development at certain points but the true sell for me was the narration. She did an absolutely fabulous job bringing the characters to life. A good listen.

I really love how this book was written, how the characters were all developed, how the story was built and felt so rich. The dialogue was brought to life with all of the actors and actresses doing exceptional voice work. So happy I listened, one of the few books that had me interested the entire time and made me feel good afterwards. Tons of little pearls :)

I really loved this book, I had taken a break from fictional writing for awhile because I was having the hardest time finding any books I could really connect with. most stories were only one dimensional, no real interest or intrigue, no relevance... not this one! Very happy to have listened to it, I think the writing was spectacular, character development was extraordinary, and the narration was perfection. I am so happy they told the story through different voices, it fit with the writing style.

This story had me at the beginning, almost lost me with some of the excessive banter and meaningless fluff in the middle, but I will say even after 12 hours I was bummed when it was done. It definitely built into something very good, very interesting and very well researched. I love that the female lead was so down to earth and self-assured. Definitely hope there’s more to come

I started this book with hesitation because it was going to be a long one and I didn’t know how deep they could really go with the subject matter and feared it would drone on. WRONG!!!!

The characters are written to be very dynamic, the storyline changes and evolves throughout the book, And the narrator is absolutely fabulous. She brought a diverse/multicultural character list completely to life.
