Nofar is an average teenage girl - so average, in fact, that she's almost invisible. Serving customers ice cream all summer long, she is desperate for some kind of escape. But one afternoon, a terrible lie slips from her tongue. And suddenly everyone wants to talk to her: the press, her schoolmates, and even the boy upstairs. He is the only one who knows the truth, and he is demanding a price for his silence.

What a disservice a reader’s mispronunciation of foreign names can do to a wonderful story.
Revisado: 09-05-21
The Liar is more beautifully written than Gunder-Goshen’s very enjoyable Waking Lions and the reader here has a lovely voice. What is galling however is that obviously no effort was made to correctly pronounce the Hebrew names of the characters. Does the fault lie with audible or the publisher that gives license to audible — or the narrator? With every mispronounced name the listener instinctively corrects the reader - ruining the flow of the story. This has been true of almost every novel translated from the Hebrew that I’ve downloaded from audible. AUDIBLE: PLEASE FIX THIS IRRITATING & AGGRAVATING FEATURE OF YOUR RECORDED ISRAELI NOVELS. Make the effort!

Erwin doesn't remember much about his journey across Europe after the war ended - with good reason. He spent most of it asleep, carried by other survivors as they emerged from their hiding places or were liberated from the camps and traveled by train, by truck, by wagon, or on foot to Naples, where they filled the refugee camps and wondered what was to become of them. As he struggles to stay awake, Erwin becomes part of a group of young boys being trained in both body and mind for their new lives in Palestine.

Whodunit?
Revisado: 01-08-20
Wonderful story and beautiful narration but WHODUNIT?
The narrator read the author’s final words and, as I was trying to catch my breath and without a decent interval, his voice continues: “This has been an audible recording...blah blah blah.”
This glaring fault ruined an otherwise beautiful reading. So, was it the fault of the narrator or the sound editor?!?! WHODUNIT?

Inheritance is an audiobook about secrets - secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than 50 years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history.

A Memoir Rare in Its Intimacy and Beauty
Revisado: 05-20-19
“Where did I come from?,” Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” are existential questions given life and substance in this remarkable memoir - INHERITANCE by Dani Shapiro. With the science of artificial insemination in its infancy when the author was conceived, Shapiro pieces together the story of her origin and weaves the disparate pieces of the fabric of her life into a stunning whole cloth. I was breathless as I listened to the author’s gentle voice sharing her remarkable tale of self-discovery — her story written beautifully and with delicate intimacy. The author of numerous memoirs and novels, Shapiro soars in this — her latest, profoundly gratifying memoir INHERITANCE. Kol ha’kavod.
