Meryl made this book unforgettable

Revisado: 04-25-25

I don’t even know where to begin. It feels like a book about everything and nothing, all at once. I cannot imagine hearing or reading it in any other way except through Meryl Streep’s voice. She absolutely made this story. It was so beautifully and perfectly performed. I wish it didn’t have to end. A magnificent story.

I wish this book didn’t have to end

Revisado: 04-16-25

I loved every word from the first to the last. Incredible storytelling. It never felt grandiose or exploitative. It gave me a greater appreciation for people who do these jobs as a service to the rest of society. I was appreciative of the addition of the sharing of Barbara’s personal struggles and demons and in awe of how she overcame them. A real-life Kay Scarpetta and incredible woman.

Incredible story and structure

Revisado: 04-11-25

I didn’t know what to expect going into this, and it took my breath away. Poignant, beautiful, impactful. This is one I’ll be thinking about for a long time. The audiobook was especially beautiful. I wish Violeta could have lived another 100 years so the story didn’t have to end.

I didn’t even know this had happened!

Would love to hear more about the research that went into this. Is was like reading an Agatha Christie novel, but I kept forgetting it was about her actual life!

Fascinating look at a completely different world

I came to this book knowing nothing about the Sierra Madres but having read another book of Grant’s. Beautiful storytelling, as always, and a really captivating journey!

Loved it!!

Revisado: 03-27-25

I hadn’t intended to start book 3 so soon after finishing 2 but I’m so glad I did. I loved how the story evolved and brought in so many elements from the first two. It feels like there’s more than enough set up for future books and I certainly hope that’s the case!!

Amazing weaving of stories and characters

Revisado: 03-16-25

I honestly didn’t know how Follett was going to weave so many different stories and characters together in the midst of major historical events, but he did it!! And beautifully. I was sucked into every family unit’s story, and cannot wait for books two and three. What a fascinating way to capture a period of time that spans generations.

Interesting snapshot of time/place

Revisado: 02-23-25

I ended the book really hoping it had been a true story. But it was such an interesting look at class and immigrant dynamics during that time period. Especially with how people view the same issues today.

So many twists and turns, yet again!

Revisado: 02-16-25

Loved this one and the crossover between worlds and stories. Such a cool touch and I certainly hope it continues in the ACOTAR series next. Very happy with how everything wrapped up, and there was definitely plenty of room left for the series to continue.
