Way too slow

Revisado: 07-08-24

Good characters and writing but frustratingly slow pace and not enough happens! It’s a pet peeve for me

Sooooo frustrating!!

Revisado: 07-08-24

Good lord. The stars are for the writing. But agggggggonizingly slow pace. And WTF is with the zero- resolution ending? If I wanted to read a choose-my-own-adventure story and create my own ending, I’d have done so. Do not make me listen for hours and then never tell me what heck happens in the end. I should NOT have to wait for Book 3 to find that out. Grrrrrrr.

Pulitzer folks! This is your winner

Riveting. Intense but manageable and so very human and uplifting. I’m grateful to be educated on this important but overlooked piece of my own history.

Worthwhile

They each got better as it went along. Glad I stuck it out thru the first two which were 2-3 stars. Definitely worth it for the last two. Very thought provoking.

Simple, engaging, enjoyable!

This was a fantastic breather from nonfiction heaviness. Good plot. Fun dialogue w usual wry Brit style. Outstandingly performed by just one narrator. If you liked Mary Higgins Clark back in the day, you’ll love it.

Charming, thought provoking, but too long

Revisado: 04-21-22

I ended up glad I stuck it out. But it was a chore often, could/should have been trimmed by 25%. Too much repetitive circular dialog. Chop that, and more plot could have unfolded. The performance however is truly outstanding. So many voices adeptly done so not confusing. Don’t think I’ll read more by the author though.

Timely; moving; but…..

First, this is hands down best performance in my long Audible experience. She did different voices seamlessly and convincingly. I liked the story, particularly reading during covid, but I wish there were many fewer pages of birthing/nursing detail in exchange for more development of the human journeys. We would have loved to know what happened in the next months or years even. It felt unfinished to me.

Worth it, but where was the editor?!

Revisado: 08-18-21

Performance outstanding. Many characters, and she voices them authentically and differently enough that you don’t get lost re who is speaking. Story, actually beautifully written, is compelling, important, authentic, enjoyable…..but where in tarnation was the editor?! Could have had 25% fewer anecdotal segments and still have been equally, if not more, impactful. Glad I read it to learn about being raised in southern Ohio, but had to force myself to be patient with it.

A good break from non fiction

Revisado: 07-14-21

Cute story, albeit predictable. I needed a break from heavy stuff (real life issues) and this is def that. Sadly the performance is trying. Most of the cast struggled w accents and hence sounded rather odd, but the plot survives that. Good palate cleanser overall.
