I loved the juxtaposition of Isabel Allende's description of growing up in Chile (and then her life as an exile) with the sad sad story of her daughter's illness and death. It was also something of a history lesson, which we Americans can use.

The narration was a bit monotone, but otherwise very well done. Perfect enunciation and accent, with no weird breathing or background sounds like some other productions.

The writing in this book is amazing - so beautiful and evocative. It has made me want to buy the paper version, just to be able to re-read certain passages and mark the pages.

Fascinating, well-researched social, religious, and political history of Ireland from the 1950s onward. BUT, as others have noted, unrelentingly negative until perhaps the last chapter, with the exception of the discussion of the 1998 Good Friday Accord.
And repetitive. It was a slog to get through the last 25-30%. I wanted to shout: Got it, we know how awful the Catholic Church was and how corrupt the political leaders were. Got it.
