Vulgar

Revisado: 02-15-25

Vulgar characters and language. Perhaps there are people who talk and behave like this but I do not enjoy reading about them. No it is not that I live in a sheltered environment, it is that this kind of behavior bombards us every day, I read to escape the filth we live in not to bathe in more of it. I tried the book because it came with good reviews, as page turner, engaged immediately, surprising turns. Sorry it was fairly predictable, I had to take breaks from it by reading the news. Only good thing was that it did not cost me a credit. Not for the discerning reader!

Really Dorothea!

Benton Frank wrote some fun reads, but this is not one of them. A wasted credit for sure.

Repetitive

Revisado: 01-09-25

I know that people like to read about the very rich and what they do, however is it necessary to list songs foods shops and clothes designers over and over and over and over and over, well you get my point. This appears to be a pattern in the Nantucket stories but this Inn series about the Quinn family is over the top. I do not often write a review, only when I truly love the book or author or reader, or if I find it annoying. This series qualifies as annoying.

Love love love this book. Love the format the characters the way they talk and write and behave. Love the readers. Listen to it at least once a year just to hear them. Love how they feel about books, that is how I feel also. They are old friends I love to return to and like them they do not disappoint.

Very juvenile.

Revisado: 08-30-24

Story is very juvenile both in content and the performance. I do not recall that it was labeled as such but it should be.

Juvenile

Revisado: 06-07-24

Could not listen to reader. Stopped listening early in the story. I found it to be very superficial and boring. I love historic fiction, but this was very YA for
me. Will try to return. Could not finish, very irritating.

Completely entrancing

Revisado: 05-14-24

I always knew that women in most societies were oppressed but I had no idea of the lengths English men went to in order to keep women as objects for their use and abuse. It was a revelation that they actually invented a mythology for their superiority and the abasement of women. So much for the myth of the British gentlemen.

I highly recommend this book. It is not a novel, it is not fiction, It is an endless list of men's efforts to keep women from learning, creating and even feeling. It is also a listing of women who did all of that despite everything. All women should read this, until we all realize that we are not the weaker, lesser vessel, we will never reach true equality. It should be read by men as well so they can better understand why women are angry. It will take generations for men to understand that life with women who are equal partners in life, in endeavor and feeling and passion is worth the price.

The research for this book is staggering and worthy of respect and attention.

disapointed

Perhaps it would have been better to end the story with the preceding book. Diana's writing is awesome as always but perhaps she could turn her attention and skill to something new?

easy listen

Read one and you have read them all. It is very nice that the French worked so hard to protect "Their" art treasures, however many of their art treasures were stolen from other countries, for example, the Mona Lisa, stolen from Italy. I do not see them hurrying to give it back. To read about France during WWII one would think that with the exception of a few rotten apples everyone was in the resistance.
