Historia
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger. When she discovers she is pregnant–and that her lover is married–she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.

A beautiful and heart breaking story. Loved it. A story if strength and sacrifice for your family. The narrator, Sandra Oh, was amazing. She should narrate more books.

Historia
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Do not miss this book!
Amazing story and narration is the cherry on top.
I want to start it over and listen again. It really is that good.
I saw the movie and was good but there is no way it can touch this book. So many little extras to bring the reader awareness of what was going on in the world at the time.
Buy this book now. It’s one of the best things I have read in a while.

Great Story!
Revisado: 01-05-23
The story was wonderful. I laughed out loud several times. I love the kind of books that make me smile.
The one draw back would be the narrator who played Cooper. It was very hard to listen to with the halting narration. Even my hubby made a comment while I was listening and said poor narration.
The other narrators were wonderful!

Historia
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.

Repeat listen
Revisado: 07-04-22
I have finished listening to this book for my 4th time.
I loved it as much this time as the first.
Abby is the best! Great stories. I bought this book for my BFF and she just finished. She could not stop talking about it.
Her daughter bought her the next book and now I’m gonna have to listen to that one again so she and I can talk about it while it’s fresh in my head.
Love every single Abby Jimenez book!

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the journey this book took me on over
The last couple of days it took for me to listen. My hubby also enjoyed. We found ourselves laughing throughout.
So good! This is a must.

Great story
Revisado: 04-23-21
I stumbled on this accidentally. I wanted something short to listen to.
I was only 30 minutes into this listen when I wanted to stop and write a great review at that point. It had me laughing out loud in my kitchen. It was a pleasure to listen and the performers were fantastic. What great chemistry!
Please take the time to listen to just the first 15-30 minutes, I promise you will
be hook just as I was.

Historia
This companion tale tells the story of Ruth, the daughter that Rachel Kalama - quarantined for most of her life at an isolated leprosy settlement - was forced to give up at birth. The book follows young Ruth from her arrival at the Kapi'olani Home for Girls in Honolulu to her adoption by a Japanese couple who raise her on a strawberry and grape farm in California, her marriage and unjust internment at Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War II - and then, after the war, to the life-altering day when she receives a letter from a woman who says she is Ruth’s birth mother.

Wonderful follow up to original
Revisado: 04-23-21
This was a touching and poignant follow up to the original Molokai book. The fleshing out of Ruth’s life from childhood to the end was fantastic. The history woven through the book was just as good as the first book.
Make sure you have tissue, I made the mistake of listening to the end while going my makeup, big mistake.
You can’t miss with this book.

What an amazing story
Revisado: 05-07-20
I am sitting in my car as I just finished listening to the book and I am in tears. What a wonderful story. Loved Jojo Moyes weaves a story between 2 time periods. The narrators were so good. It’s a book that I now have to sit with for a few days before I attempt another. This only happens with me then the book is overwhelmingly good. Don’t miss this one.

Historia
You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don’t care. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself. But one day, while you’re doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket—an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it’s another of the wives.

Historia
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So, when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything.

I have read a few of her books. As always it takes me about 2 chapters before I can’t put it down. Once I’m in, I’m in. Great story. Wonderful characters. I loved the historical references of the pick horse librarians.
Great great great!
