Outstanding writing

Revisado: 01-13-25

I am not a gamer. Never played a game in my life, yet I consider this book to be so well written, so poetic and full of symmetry and a beautiful way to write about people.It is one of the more beautiful books I have ever experienced. My only complaint is I wished for more at the end.

Very Good. Highly Recommend

Revisado: 11-03-24

I listened to all three books about Pearl Spene right in a row. The stories are thoughtful, covering about a year and a half of Pearl's life, yet three different periods or issues in the 1930s. The telling of the story through Pearl's eyes is creative as is the character as a whole. It's easy to fall in love with her, care for her and admire her. The first book has some dark scenes while the others deal with loss and family in a different way. The stories are engaging, so much that if she wrote the books all over again through the mother's or father's eyes, I would listen again.

I join the others in saying the narrator is amazing. I wasn't sure I would agree in the first few minutes given the southern sounds of calling in the first minutes, but she is amazing, mastering 20 different voices and flowing in and out of dialogue quickly. One of the best I ever heard and I own about 100 Audible books.

The faith angles and exploration for me were a nice touch too, as were the literature references. Highly recommend.

Emotionally beautiful

Revisado: 08-04-24

I picked this book because I liked another of the author's and was pleasantly surprised to find some same characters. She writes well about marriage, science, faith, and relationships in a lovely story. I hope there is a third about Agie as an adult.

Beautifully written

Revisado: 01-22-24

My first by this author and her words and descriptions have such beauty. She's an excellent writer, one of the best I have listened to. The story reminded me of To Kill a Mockingbird as well as The Kite Runner. I will listen to more of her books.

Captures the Heart of God

Revisado: 01-20-24

Some may think this is Christian fluff at first, but the story has depth and in my own experience, captures the way in which God meets suffering with his amazing ability to bring multi-dimensional healing, restoration, and wholeness. Worth the listen, especially for anyone recovering from loss or sorrow and need a reminder of God's mysterious plans to help get them through..

Least Favorite Firefly

Revisado: 08-14-23

I love the Firefly series for the way it gives us more time with well beloved characters, and I hope they write more. This one was my least favorite, though. I get what Una was trying to do, but Annie's character was annoying, and I don't care what she thinks of the crew. Her commentary was distracting and took away valuable time we could be directly enjoying the crew and their perspective. The crew was also split up for almost all the book in the same groups of two or three, limiting their overall interaction and giving us less of them together in diversity of interaction. And there was no Firefly as its own character. It was absent from the story. Overall, it felt like only a little taste of the crew and not a full Firefly adventure.

Wonderful Surprise

Revisado: 05-17-23

This book was a wonderful surprise with three interwoven stories into one. It is also quite beautiful in terms of the themes of belonging and fatherhood complemented by what matters in life and a great natural setting. The narrator took a while for me to get used to, but the story is well worth it.

Beautifully written and narrated

Revisado: 06-12-22

Beautiful, unique story that brings a story of hope and redemption around a horrific true moment in US history. One of the best narrations I've heard too.
