This is a book I will think about for a long time after finishing. The language was eloquent and lyrical, but the story itself was also captivating. This is a gorgeous story of love, forgiveness, and appreciation of art and nature. It examines what it means to be family and what we do for those we love. The landscape of both South Carolina and Cumbria are characters in the novel and the descriptions make me want to visit both. This was a unique story that wound history with charm and whimsy.

I usually love Ms. Cleeton’s novels that intertwine history and intrigue with Cuban flavor. This novel fell flat. There just wasn’t enough “there” there to make it interesting and believable. It was unique to tell the story through the house - but maybe give the house a voice as well. I didn’t feel very invested in these characters and didn’t really understand their behavior.

Revenge is still a powerful motivator. While I generally figured it out about 1/2 way through - it was still an interesting thriller with some twists and turns. It makes you think about this generation living their lives for all to see on social media and what can be learned just with a little bit of research.

You’ll have to employ “willing suspension of disbelief” at times (what 18 year old leaves for college and never speaks to her family again? Why would they keep paying tuition for a kid they haven’t seen or spoken to in years? Would a family in a religious cult really let a daughter leave and go to college?)

The narrator was excellent and I’ll look for other books she narrates.

Wish it was a little longer but it was a good quick listen! Note the trigger warnings at the beginning if you need them.

I wish I hadn’t waited so long to read this story. It is an epic tale, born in historic facts, expertly woven by Ms. Quinn. The characters, and all of their courage and flaws, come to life.

The audio version and the printed versions are equally impactful, but the narrator does an excellent job with various voices, languages, accents etc and the story comes to life as she reads.

There was literally not one likable character in this novel. Each is more horrific than the next. I feel so sorry for the little girl, Molly.

The story is suspenseful and has some interesting twists and turns - but there were a couple loose ends and by then end there were literally no characters to root for - they are each inexorably flawed. It’s hard to comprehend why they were friends and why they were still in touch.

This book was WAY TOO LONG for very little story advancement. I will not continue until the final two books are released - but honestly, I’m not really sure I’m invested enough in these characters to continue. It seems to be the exact same story over and over with very little character growth or change. It’s almost lazy how long this book is and how repetitive the scenes are; it could have been 300 pages. I enjoyed the unique story of the first book, but each one has just seemed like the same book, with a few new little details.

Cute listen while cleaning - format was unique and held my interest, sweet characters but not particularly memorable. Certainly not fine literature but pleasant enough. Light and simple.

This was included in my membership but it was a sweet rom/com with pretty believable dialogue between the characters. It was a delightful surprise. The little sci fi twist was a unique plot line!

As others mentioned, the voice of Mia was irritating and sounded like a child. I was a little anxious during the first 1/2 but all the twists and turns ended up providing a great story.
