Absolutely wonderful story. Very believable and down to Earth. The parallelism between the two girl's lives is such a great representation of the era. The performance was great too; very lively.

Elise Sontag is a typical Iowa 14-year-old in 1943 - aware of the war but distanced from its reach. Then her father, a legal US resident for nearly two decades, is suddenly arrested on suspicion of being a Nazi sympathizer. The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity. The only thing that makes the camp bearable is meeting fellow internee Mariko Inoue, a Japanese-American teen from Los Angeles.

In April 1940, the ninth Duke of Rutland died in mysterious circumstances in one of the rooms of his family estate, Belvoir Castle. The mystery surrounding these rooms holds the key to a tragic story that is played out on the brutal battlefields of the Western Front and in the exclusive salons of Mayfair and Belgravia in the dying years of la belle époque. Uncovered is a dark and disturbing period in the history of the Rutland family, and one which they were determined to keep hidden for over 60 years. Sixty years on, The Secret Rooms is the true story of family secrets and one man’s determination to keep the past hidden at any cost.

Absolutely wonderful as usual
Revisado: 11-03-18
Every time I read/listen to another one of Susan Meissner's books, I don't think it can be topped. That is, until I read/listen to another one and realize that I was wrong. I honestly cannot get enough of her writing. I can never put the book down or pause the audiobook. absolutely addictive. This one in particular was more of a tear jerker than I'm used to when it comes to her stories, but worth every drop. It was a mystery all the way to the end usual: I can never guess the ending before it is divulged. Definitely give this one a try!

Entertaining and different, this is an enjoyable study of a flawed yet characterful Prince of Wales seen through the eyes of the women in his life. Edward Vll, who gave his name to the Edwardian Age and died in 1911, was King of England for the final 10 years of his life. He was 59 when at last he came to the throne. Known as Bertie, the eldest son of Victoria and Albert, he was bullied by both his parents.

Excellent
Revisado: 06-16-18
This didn't flow too much like a biography. It flowed more nicely as a story, making it incredibly easy to listen to. All too often, biographers develop a tone of judgement or disapproval towards those they are portraying, but not in this case. The facts were presented as they were and no one absolution was made. Understanding Bertie's story gives a new image of how the 20th century developed. This is definitely worth the time it takes to listen.
