I loved how they tried to protect each other

Revisado: 06-23-24

The Black Candle Women spent their whole life protecting each other over something that may or may not have existed. Their inability to communicate almost destroyed them.

More Time

Revisado: 05-22-24

This was a good listen. I got lost in the story once or twice and had to go back and re-listen. Outside of that it has a good storyline. In a nutshell, they needed more time to make decisions for themselves and for others. Time we do not have. It’s a good read/listen. I do recommend it.

A book EVERYONE should read

Revisado: 02-25-23

This book is a great “read“. (I listened to it.) I had to stop and cry, and and catch my breath as I would be holding it, The events as told through a child’s eyes are far more gripping and telling than from any adult.
I don’t know how to put what I feel into words.

I do know migrating to “La USA” should never be that hard nor that dangerous for anyone. I don’t know the answer to the question of how to change (for better or worse) the current state of the system. I do know it can’t continue in its current state.

I’m not sure

Revisado: 06-16-22

I’m not sure how I felt about this book. It was interesting and at times slow but it was good.

Read it and form your own opinion.

Happy reading!

Didn’t see the that coming

Revisado: 06-07-22

Honestly, I was upset when I realized the change in the story. I got over it. I loved the complicated Finn and Diana. I loved the ending even more. It took me a “day/night” to finish this audiobook. I couldn’t put it down.

Enjoy!

She does not disappoint

Revisado: 06-01-22

I have loved Isabel Allende’s writings from the first time I read “House of Spirits” for my Latin American 101 class my first semester of college - eons ago - then “Portrait in Sepia”.

Life has finally slowed down and I’m catching up. I’m seriously behind. I have yet to read anything she writes not suspenseful, funny, sad, and leaving me wanting more.

She’s worth every second of your time, whether it be via audio or text. She’s a wonderful story teller.

I highly recommend anything she writes. You’ll not regret it.

“Secrets…”

Revisado: 05-29-22

I cried, laughed, gasped and set dumbfounded by Qian’s recollection of her life in America.

While reading this book I was completely ashamed at the way Qian and her family were treated, legal or not. How ashamed we, as Americans should all be because people only come here for the American dream and we treat them less than dirt?! Something’s really wrong here.

I dare everyone to read, listen to it, what ever medium you use. Don’t listen as background noise. Really listen. Her recollection could be about the person you work with, eat lunch with, your children go to school with, etc. A kind smile would go a long way.

I chose the book because I loved the cover. The truth which is on its pages are heartbreaking, truthful, and eye opening.

I loved this book!

Thank you Qian Qian. Thank you.

I’m in awe

Revisado: 08-14-21

I’m in awe at how accurate this book is. As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, I can attest to the PTSD. My father passed it on to all of his children. We don’t do this. We don’t do that. We always make sure we are in a position to get out, etc, etc. The only difference, btwn my daddy and most vets, my daddy became a Pentacostal preacher. He talks about Vietnam now and then. I set and listen. This book Is like listening to my daddy. May God bless those who go to battle and return a changed man and woman.
