Expected more knowing native couture

Revisado: 02-19-25

What made me most upset is that he relied on native imagery but didn’t follow through . It MATTERS what kind of birds in the various parts of the book. the dream Lore of (spoiler) about a house was not explored as foreshadowing. Shame.

Why can’t I get a refund - barely into this

Revisado: 01-30-25

What a stupid book. It’s like Margaret Atwood met slaughterhouse 5

It wants me to keep writing

A man narrating a “woman’s thoughts” should have tipped me off

Fear monger wow - yeah don’t bother with this one

I mean what the heck?? You’re mostly trying to sell your other book about anxiety with your fear mongering.

Hadn’t heard of it till reading a History Plaque at Tween-Waters Resort in Captiva, Fl

Revisado: 08-17-22

We come down to Captiva about four times a year and take turns among the resorts. Last January we read the plaque and I just had to get Gift from the Sea. Wow! I love it so that I gave it my bridesmaids who served at our wedding at the quaint Chapel by the Sea here in Captiva.

It gives a wisdom to women - and men my husband loves it too - that many need to learn. It’s a gentle read and this time we heard it from the Ding Darling cottage. Good sweet memories. Glad it’s still in print after 67 years.

I will return because he started with a lie

Revisado: 10-15-20

The opening story was not his friend in Az. That is a very well known, classic parable on scarcity and perceived desirability.

Can’t get past his attempts at a non fiction by starting with a lie.

I expected something positive

Revisado: 11-11-19

I expected something a lot different.. retuning this. because 5 minutes in it's been full of strife and murder of African Americans. I really wasnt wanting to be positioned to be upset in that way. Live audio of African Americans being abused by police really wasnt in the same universe of what I was hoping for.

Love it more than when I read the book 30 years ago

Revisado: 01-24-19

This is the third time I’ve read/listened to this book. Now that I’m older, I love it all the more. There are some static issues 3/4 of the way through but the performance is otherwise great.

Definitely still a classic.

stressful

Revisado: 01-24-19

I was pretty excited when I saw this new subscription because I love guided meditations at night . I couldn't believe it she was talking so fast and so stressful I only got two minutes into it so maybe his fetter feel myself tensing up she talks very very fast and she some of the things she says makes reminds me of things that she's trying to tell me to forget it's like telling me to not think about a white polar bear just don't mention it and get to the meditation. however I think audible zydia is a great one and I hope in the future to find more relaxing guided meditations

classic story- couldn't hear narrative

Revisado: 11-22-18

I can't return as I was trying to listen in the car.. some passages are not very clear due to the low voice.
