Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 22
This beautifully constructed family saga spans three generations set all within the macabre world of the civil war era American funeral industry where weepers, warners, death photographers and the new practice of embalming the dead dwelled. For generations, the women of the Fenn family have been traditional “weepers”; paid mourners who attend wakes and weep for the dead. Their counterparts, the men of the True family, are undertakers, or “warners.”

Great Story! Great Story Teller!

This was such a fantastic story to listen to. I love, love the characters in this audiobook. Their voices, their expressions, and their pauses really brought them to life for me. This story is one set in the Civil war times. When jobs like weepers existed. The involvement of these two families (Fenn and True Family) and how their lives intertwine due to a roving husband who can't seem to keep himself faithful. But to avoid scandal his wife agrees to take his child he had out of wedlock as her own son, twin son. Things like this never go as planned and this story was no exception to the rule. But that is only a piece do this book. There are so many other characters with lives as equally complex and engaging. So much to take in, so many things going on. I was so intrigued with the story that I not only listened to it but often had to increase the speed so I could find out what was going to happen right away. Give this book a listen, you won't regret it!

In Nobody Eats Parsley: And Other Things I Learned from My Family, David Oakley ushers us front and center to the inner circus of his family life. These are stories so ridiculous, you might think they‘re fiction. They‘re not. If you‘re looking for the antidote to 2020 - look no further. Each chapter is filled with hilarious true events from David‘s world, and there‘s a nice life lesson "takeaway" from each.

Constantly Laughing!
Revisado: 02-04-21
This audiobook was so easy to listen to. As a matter of fact it was like listening to a friend telling stories. I completely enjoyed the author reading the story because it gave to a more authentic feeling of what he was meaning and the emphasis needed to get the point across in the story. The story about the UFO was hilarious. That experience was similar to one I have had in my past. I feel that way about most all the stories, like they were totally believable and hilarious. I was constantly laughing and in awe of the situations he was either involved in or placed himself in. Get this audiobook, listen to it! You will not regret it!

Both experience loss and betrayal, which engender feelings of fear and uncertainty about what the future holds.

But supported by her partner Ben, she discovers the mystical Aramaic teachings of Yeshua that offer her a pathway to self-realization and freedom.

Excellent book to relax and take in
Revisado: 12-20-20
The novel, The Mystery of Martha is obviously a thoroughly researched work of fiction. It is so well written that it is hard to grasp the difference between fact and fiction. At times I had to ask myself, "Did this really happen in the Bible? The major premise of the book is about everday life in a time which was much simpler that ours is presently. And how finding the teachings of Jesus are applied to he modern life of the second Martha. The story flashed between the lives and happens of the two Martha's and creates a story of comparisons and similarities. The two women of the same name separated only by time and space allows the reader glimpses of these women's lives. Their struggles with family life, friendships, and belief systems.
Again the time devoted to developing this story is evident. I am certain that this book is one that the reader will enjoy even if you are not of the Christian faith. As a Christian myself, it was difficult to totally lose myself in a book that I felt at times contradicted my beliefs. However I did have to continue to tell myself that this is fiction. I did listen to this book in audiable and found it to be easy to follow as the reader's voice was so pleasant to listen to.
In my opinion The Mystery of Martha this book can be read by many readers. However, the more mature in age adult reader would find it most appealing.
