Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 16
It is 1916. The world has gone to war, and young Leo Sercombe, hauling coal aboard the HMS Queen Mary, is a long way from home. The wild, unchanging West Country roads of his boyhood seem very far away from life aboard a battlecruiser. Skimming through those West Country roads on her motorcycle, Lottie Prideaux defies the expectations of her class and sex as she covertly studies to be a vet. In a world torn asunder by war, everything dances in flux: how can the old ways life survive, and how can the future be imagined, in the face of such unimaginable change?

Jonathan Keeble completes the narration of this emotive trilogy. Leo and Lottie continue their path toward adulthood and the healing power of horses.

It is 1889, and civil war is brewing in Mexico. A 16-year-old girl, Teresita, illegitimate but beloved daughter of the wealthy and powerful rancher Don Tomas Urrea, wakes from the strangest dream, a dream that she has died. Only it was not a dream. This passionate and rebellious young woman has arisen from death with the power to heal, but it will take all her faith to endure the trials that await her and her family now that she has become the "Saint of Cabora".

The historical fiction of a family and a people
Revisado: 10-14-18
Urea is a fabulous story teller and this story straddles the blurred line between reality and mythology. The characters are fleshed so fully and with such tender love that the epic pulls you along effortlessly. Urea deserves an Oscar and a Booker prize for this audio performance!

Khaled Hosseini, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations.

separation and search for family
Revisado: 09-23-18
Another great story from Hosseinu that touches on common family experiences but highlights the plight of those separated and lost due to poverty, war and reckless decisions. The three readers do a great job although Hosseini's performance was more amateur. I recommend this book because Hosseini avoids an obvious ending which rings more true.
