Good but a tad slow
Revisado: 04-12-25
I enjoyed the story but it dragged in the middle so I felt the need to up the speed to 1.5x. Still enjoyed it though. Don’t forget to listen to the author’s note.

New York dilettante Marjorie Taub, a middle-aged doctor's wife, is hooked on culture - mornings at the Whitney, afternoons at MOMA, evenings at BAM. Plunged into a mid-life crisis of Medea-like proportions, she's shaken out of her lethargy by the reappearance of a fascinating childhood friend.

Not for me
Revisado: 03-16-25
The acting was excellent but unfortunately the story was not for me. The dramatic, aimless, overwrought rich housewife was pathetic. The sex and drugs was unnecessary. Tossing in the Jewish state, Nazis, Palestine, Israel, Iran and politics was just too much and it didn’t “sell”. Sorry.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Intricate story, fascinating
Revisado: 08-14-24
This story is very intricate and therefore at times hard to follow, but it’s gripping, keeps one engaged, and lays bare the beauty and horrors of humanity. I will read this again.

This was a fun story to listen to. The acting and associated noises for the listening audience made it enjoyable to listen. The acting was superb! Definitely would recommend

No doubt all this stuff happens to real people and it’s a terrible shame. It’s a tough read but well worth it

I enjoyed Journey to the Center of the Earth more. This one has to many technical terms which detached from the story.

Long winded
Revisado: 07-23-23
I finished the book bc I wanted to know how it ended but it was a trial at some parts. There are points where the author meanders and it’s difficult to see how or if it relates. Overall though I found the story interesting and it keep me wanting to get to the end.

Maybe this author isn’t for me
Revisado: 07-16-23
I’ve read four of her books now and she seems hit or miss for me. I absolutely loved the Alice Network and Diamond Eye was overall good as well. However Rose Code and this one were just okay, and I was left wanting something more. The stories had promise, and some of it was captured but they are slow and repetitive which is annoying. In both books I found myself skipping ahead and listening on at least 1.5x speed to get to the next bit of the story.

Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.

So much promise….
Revisado: 05-28-23
I had high hopes for this story. The idea unique, the story line has lots of possibilities, but it was not to be. I found the story repetitive, slow (if not downright glacial at times), meandering, and I could go on but unlike the author I won’t belabor the point.
