The whole series is amazing

Revisado: 04-20-25

Narration was clear and defined the characters well. The pace of narration was excellent. The story is compelling. The characters very relatable. The addition of the prequel which I read long after I read the other books, enriched the experience.

Intense and detailed

Revisado: 03-27-25

Narration was excellent. Story moved well. Characters relatable.
Too possibly real, but captivating.
Nice little nod to Three Pines.

Historical fiction that reads like fantasy

Revisado: 01-08-24

Interesting first person survival with dreamy philosophy. It makes me think of Thoreau, who was terrified by the forest of New Hampshire. Or Conrad Richters “ the Trees”. Farley Mowat’s “lost in the Barrens”. Worth your time.

First novel

Revisado: 09-14-23

All in all, I enjoyed this short novel. I found the first passages of the book off putting but when I persisted with
The story I became more interested. It is a story about obsession and so unsettling. It is also a story about homecoming and so rewarding. I would like to see more by this author. It was too short!

1948

Revisado: 04-29-23

Great story, great predictive fiction.wonderful characters. Yes there’s a little bit of sexism, but the book was written in 1948 hey it’s still ahead of its time for strong female characters and valid characterizations of people in equal relationships. Poses those philosophical questions Heinlein is known for, with substance, thought provoking questions and excellent prose.

Complex and engaging

Revisado: 12-02-22

Complex and engaging, well written, integrated, while the plot and the set up is rather unbelievable it is also intriguing incorporating the art world things seen and unseen and mysteries of the past. Very enjoyable. Narration excellent.

Pretty Good story

Revisado: 11-23-22

This book had a fairly good story, but some areas could have been written better. More detail about sailing and proper terms would be good.
The author goes into detail about her daughters thin hair and skin condition secondary to scurvy, then it is never mentioned it again.
The irritability of the protagonist and the whining of her daughter were somewhat distracting. However the storyline hung together well enough to keep me listening.
The daughters abilities and use of snakes was interesting.

Brilliant

Revisado: 03-26-22

A story of poverty vs wealth, pestilence, greed, pandemic, science; the importance of education and public health and respect for all people.
The pestilence is cholera, and the story is of today.
The narrator is excellent. Prepare to be enthralled, the read “the Mammoth Cheese” by the same author.
