Beautifully researched and voice acted, this book is for listeners who love to be immersed in another time and place. And if you’re like me, this ends well so be brave and listen without any spoilers!

This was a horrible story with dozens of plot holes. It was sloppy and relied on violence and depravity to carry the prose. But it didn’t carry it. The whole story sunk and with no protagonist to be found, I didn’t really care. The ending was THE MOST UNSATISFYING finale I’ve ever listened to/read. The voice actors did a great job and they are the only reason I kept listening but skip this one. Honestly. It’s awful.

I loved how this book traveled through time with the same characters. It was neat because glass making goes back hundreds of years and hasn’t changed much. I really enjoyed it.

This has a classically short-story-like unsatisfying ending. It was so immersive until the end. Then it just went completely off the rails.

Romance, action, mystery, movie stars? What’s not to like? I enjoyed this so much and recommend if you like all of the above.

If you love slow paced, character driven, family centric stories, Anne Tyler should be a go to!

This painstakingly researched historical piece of fiction made me think about language in a new way. I’m so grateful she wrote it and I found it. The characters were alive as was the setting. An absolute triumph. Lovely stuff!

The first and third portions of this book, narrated by a male, were well crafted and fluid. The middle portion, narrated by a female and written in 1st person POV was unnecessary. The idea of placing Native American culture and spirituality against a heavy curtain of physical abuse was an odd choice and maybe even a little tone deaf. This was written over 30 years ago, so it was a different time. I don’t know. Parts of it were great and parts weren’t. The ending was abrupt.
