Iris and Will have been married for seven years, and their marriage is as close to perfect as it can be. But on the morning Will leaves for a business trip to Florida, Iris' happy world comes to an abrupt halt. Another plane headed for Seattle has crashed into a field, killing everyone on board, and, according to the airline, Will was one of the passengers. Grief stricken and confused, Iris is convinced it all must be a huge misunderstanding. Why did Will lie about where he was going? What is in Seattle? And what else had he lied about?

Huge Disappointment

Any additional comments?
While the story was much longer than it needed to be, and generally over-indulged and unrealistic, the very worst part of this book was the narration. It appeared that every few paragraphs, the narrator remembered that the characters were meant to be from the south, and she'd drop a few final consonants- then she'd forget again! Some characters, including the protagonist's twin brother added zero to the story. I finished the book, hoping it would redeem itself, but alas, it did not. So much eye-rolling from the first minute to the last!

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Absolutely captivating

This was one of my first audio-books. I had recently changed jobs, and faced a new 45 minute commute each way. The book had been recommended, but I'd neglected to read it. Bored with my commute, I decided to try audiobooks. I enjoyed the first couple, and they made the commute pass nicely, but this one blew me away! I was willing to go back out to the drugstore, to the post office, anywhere, even after my long day was done, just to have a few more minutes to listen to this story. The narrators are superb,and the story is beyond engrossing. I have a teen-aged son and daughter, who were both so intrigued by my fascination with this book that they each downloaded the book, and asked for hard copies for Christmas. I never believed I would be so enamored of an audiobook, but this one has made me a stalwart champion.
My only caution is that the author does not seem to have any further titles available.

Back When We Were Grownups is about one woman's search for who she really is. Listen as a 53-year-old grandmother tries to recover her girlhood self and that dignified grownup she had once been.

An unfortunate disappointment
Revisado: 02-24-09
I wanted badly to be drawn in, but it simply didn't happen. I kept an open mind, and listened even when I began to feel the story was interminable. So, yes, I saw it through to the end, but only because I was hoping for a big realization, or ...something. But despite a twinge of identification with the central character's declaration of having not lived the life she was intended to have lived, I was never engaged, and I could not very much identify with Rebecca . I did not expect an optomistic novel, but I did have expectations of something a bit more insightful, and much less hopeless. I was further put off by the drab characteriztion of all the children and granchildren. None were fully fleshed out, but only provided to the reader as partial justification for Rebecca's discontent.
