Outstanding Book:Important Topic

Revisado: 05-04-18

The topic of this book is a very important and timely topic. Jodi Picoult writes it in a compelling and thought provoking way. This is a book that could be used in high school and college classes.

A book that keeps you enthralled

Revisado: 08-19-17

This book keeps you engaged from beginning to end. It is really historical fiction with the characters based on real people. It covers a large period of history but the Germans woman's concentration camp of Ravensbruck is the major thrust of the book.

Words that make magical descriptions

Revisado: 07-10-16

I have read or listened to all of Alyson Richman's books but she has certainly topped herself with this one. Her descriptions are breathtaking and make every word come alive. The way Alyson is able to entwine beautiful music, true history of one of the world's most despicable times, together with love stories is unbelievable. The writing together with Elizabeth Sastre's narration make this a book that you don't want to put down.

Engaging Story

Revisado: 05-31-16

This book is well written and the story keeps you
totally engaged. I didn't want to stop listening. The characters were very well developed and Caroline Lee's narration made them come alive. The book deals with several of societies current problems: single parents, spousal abuse, bullying, and marital cheating. Liane Moriarty is able to weave all of these subjects into this one book in a very skillful way that keeps you in suspense wanting to know what is going to happen next. I highly recommend this book and gave it five stars in all categories because it was truly that good.

You will not want to stop listening!

Revisado: 05-03-16

This is a book that will keep your attention from the very first page to the last word. It combines factual information and the historical periods of the great artist Marc Chagall with the authors imagination. It is very well written and very well narrated by Barbara Rosenblat.
I would recommend to those who like historical fiction, reading about artists, and the Jewish experience in Russia in the early 20th Century, later in Eastern & Western Europe and what they did to survive. As the coordinator of a Book Club I definitely recommend this to Book Clubs.
I gave this book 5 star ratings in all categories because I really feel it is that good. It is the first book in a while that I have taken the time to write a review.
