This really should have been titled (at least) Two women's war

Revisado: 03-19-25

This story revolves around Operation Mincemeat, focusing on the role and perspective of several women who play key parts in it. there was a bit too much filler narrative, especially in the first part of the book. Some characters seemed superfluous. Not as gripping as Sister's of the Resistance but overall, an enjoyable listen. Saskia Marlevald is a superb narrator and I seek out her books.

Always a treat

Revisado: 11-02-22

Kate Forsyth expertly weaves the lives of the three main characters. The narrator is the best I have ever heard. Fantastic book.

A little known story about a brilliant woman

Revisado: 09-07-22

This is an amazing story, well told by the author and brilliantly narrated. I love reading stories about the little known heroines of WWII. This story tops my list. Heddy Lamar was a person of character, with a heart, a concience and an incredible intellect. It's so sad that the sexism of her time denied her the credit she was due.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 07-24-22

This book was quite a departure from the other books from Koontz I've listened to. This one was quirky, much less dark. But overall, still an entertaining listen. The ending was a bit disappointing-- seemed like the author had a deadline to make and just wrapped it up. And what about the coin? Narrator was the best I've ever heard. so many distinct character voices. Kudos to him!

This book changed the way I see the world

Revisado: 05-23-22

If Anna Czerski wanted us to view the world through a different light, she certainly achieved it. Wonderful explanations of things we don't ever think about but which are so relevant to daily life and life on earth. So many examples, surprisingly connected. I can listen to whole chapters over and over again without getting bored. This book makes science beautiful.

Good story, superb narration

Revisado: 02-25-22

I always wonder how Koontz comes up with the most heartless evil villains. So pure evil it's disturbing. I cant listen before bed.
(Better for car trips.) But the story keeps one engaged, building to the climax. The narrator was excellent. At first, the main character was portrayed a bit too ditzy to me but she was definitely not ditzy at the end. The only issue I have with the story was the end. it was a bit of a let down. Felt like the author had a deadline to finish so he just cut it short, unlike other novels of his. Disappointing after a long build up. I felt like it was just his plot notes thrown quickly on the page. The weak conclusion is the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

Enchanting

Revisado: 09-02-21

This story drew me in and kept my attention like so few others have. Beautiful writing. Words came to life. The author was painting with words. I wanted to be a sister of Avalin. Cant wait to read more by Alix Harrow.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Burton book.

Revisado: 08-16-19

This was my first read/listen of Mary Burton. I am glad I got the audible version so that I could follow the story when I wasn't able to read. A finely woven story, full of interestung twists right ip to the end. I will be reading more of her books.

Grabbed my attention and held it

Revisado: 04-24-18

I love historical fiction, and this story held me in its grip all the way through. I needed an audiobook to get me through several days of driving, and I couldnt wait to get to get back behind the wheel to hear more. The tale that she weaves together of her heroines pays great homage to the real women of the Resistance. Beautifully written and narrated. Very satisfying.
