Like talking to a friend

Revisado: 05-10-24

This was riveting! Remarkable story telling ability. There was no lag in the story at all. What an awesome circle of friends and a supportive village for sure! We should all be so fortunate. I felt like a fly in the walls of her daily life. So painful. So intense. So real. I look forward to reading more of Delia’s works.

Delia, I believe you would make a wonderful dinner companion.

I could Identify

It was good.
I could identify with many points.
“We” whine a lot,
Oh to be young again and possess this wisdom.

A Question to Ponder

Revisado: 07-05-23

The story kept my attention. Makes you ask THAT question about your own morality.

The narrator was exceptionally. The other strung the story well and was not gratuitously using add ins, like sex, violence and foul language.

I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Loved the story, but…

Revisado: 09-16-22

This is the third story I’ve listened to by the author. I enjoy how she develops characters a new intertwines them. Each one has a rich personality. I also enjoys and appreciates the Christian themes she adds without digressing into a sermon. These theme are applicable and make a reader think about “how” they can actuate the theme for their lives.

I enjoyed each character, but didn’t enjoy their voices compared to earlier books listened to. They were not horrible. I just preferred earlier voice artist performances for Evelyn and Abigail. (The ones from the story when Evelyn first moved to New Bern. My apologies as I cannot recall the title.)

I must see if there are book clubs who read and discuss her books. This author is great!

More Than Just a Story

Revisado: 07-04-22

Christina Moore narrates this story superbly. I have listened to this story before and, as before, loved it. It is the perfect play along regardless of what I am doing. Driving, cooking, gardening even when working in my studio. Jennifer Chiaverini writes a marvelous story about the Elm Creek Quilters. The character development flows well and occurs at the right time in the story. I never had a moment where I wished the story would end, but I had several moments where I was sorry I had to stop listening. :)

Makes me want to Quilt

Revisado: 07-02-22

The story was well written. I enjoyed the character development. There was a portion of the story, starting around or after the middle of it, that it seemed the actor voice for Abigail changed. Like maybe the actor was changed. It didn’t affect the flow of the story though. It was just something I noticed. Also, I appreciated the subtle mentions of God, forgiveness and the Lord. It was not overbearing or gratuitous, but rather natural and appropriate for the various situations. I think I would have liked to known Charlie’s referenced situation which fueled his contentious argument with Elizabeth (the main character, just in case I got the name wrong) though. Again this is not a major point for me. Just something I thought about afterwards. I will read other works by this author.

Well, ok

Revisado: 08-22-21

The story dragged on for me. It was too long. The narrator’s constant comparisons was tiresome.

Excellent Summer (or anytime) Read

Revisado: 07-20-20

The characters had depth. The narrators used a great deal of inflection and were never flat or boring. The chapters flowed into each other. I appreciated the approach of using a dedicated person narrative to each chapter, which made it more focused.

I highly recommend this book. I wish I could have this one on a long car ride. I listened while making dinner or working in my studio.

I’ll be reading more by Kristan Higgins and looking for more with these narrators. (The character Barb and her narrator are my new bff’s. Lol!)

Unexpected Ending

Revisado: 06-14-20

Great summer read! Author kept me engaged. The narrator performed wonderfully!

Not my usual type of book, so it was a refreshing choice. Wasn’t love sick or sexually charged and graphic. Nothing gratuitous. I really appreciated that. Recommend this so a reader who enjoys a story laced with provocative thought points, like how to be hurt, but not want revenge.
