What a timely timeless book

The Author captured so many thought provoking scenarios. Any one of which could be interpreted into any time in history and especially today. A metaphor for the string… wow

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

One year after the death of his beloved musician father, thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins to hear voices. The voices belong to the things in his house—a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous.

Narrator voices are not well done
Revisado: 11-30-22
Unfortunately the narrator’s choice of voices for the many different characters ( especially female) are very poor and very distractive. Fortunately the story overrides the problem

I felt that Ms Patchett made her voice more southern and therefore more racially profiled as she read. It sways her audience. Not allowing the listener come to their own conclusions about attitude.

In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, set in 12th-century England. Readers and listeners ever since have hoped for a sequel. At last, here it is. Although the two novels may be listened to in any order, World Without End also takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

What made the experience of listening to Dragonfly in Amber the most enjoyable?
The narrator is fantastic! The Voices are so true to the story...it becomes part of the fabric to know the characters thru the voices. One of the best i've heard to date.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jaime of course...he's strong, gallant, intelligent, handsome and has a great wit...plus one can only imagine the rest!
Which character – as performed by Davina Porter – was your favorite?
Claire

For 20 years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....

It's the early 1980s—the country is in a deep recession, and life after college is harder than ever. In the cafés on College Hill, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels.

If you could sum up The Marriage Plot in three words, what would they be?

What didn’t you like about David Pittu’s performance?
I really did not enjoy the voices that Mr. Pittu used to convey the female Characters. They were too affected. It became very distracting as the book went along. It almost defined the character...but in a negative way. Not at all as I would have imagined if I had been reading the book.
