Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is woman of quiet charm and deep feelings. Eight years before our story begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.

Persuasion
Revisado: 01-06-23
A good addition to the Jane Austen conversation. It is always fun to hear the characters speak up and tell you
what they are thinking ! A lovely production with lots of good players, music and a few rather original sound effects.
I can easily recommend it.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 14
It is a perfect spring day in Istanbul. Kemal, a wealthy heir, is about to become engaged to the aristocratic Sibel when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shop girl. He falls in love and finds his established world of Westernized families, opulent parties, society gossip and dining room rituals is shattered.

The Museum of Innocence
Revisado: 11-02-15
What made the experience of listening to The Museum of Innocence the most enjoyable?
The ability of the writer to combine beautiful descriptive writing with character development and plot structure. The book has soul.
John Lees, narrator, does a super job.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kemal, of course. He is the ringmaster of his life and a great, rich character. He
is never easy to decipher and it will be along time before I feel I have truly discoveredI him; But then
that's the reason Pamuk is such a great writer: he lets the reader be involved.
Which scene was your favorite?
Early on, the chapter of the sacrificial goat. The final chapters of the love story - but that would be
spoiling it for you !
Who was the most memorable character of The Museum of Innocence and why?
Fuzun of course. An enigma, a mystery. A classic, romantic woman with a strong
mind.
Any additional comments?
Pamuk is reputedly not to everyone's taste. But why not, is beyond me. He is a
wonderful story teller. I suppose you have to work a little harder or be a little patient as he takes his
time developing the characters, plot. I love the sub-plot with Istanbul as the
protagonist.

As a child in small-town Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren yearned to go to college and then become an elementary school teacher - an ambitious goal, given her family’s modest means. Early marriage and motherhood seemed to put even that dream out of reach, but 15 years later she was a distinguished law professor with a deep understanding of why people go bankrupt. Then came the phone call that changed her life: could she come to Washington, DC, to help advise Congress on rewriting the bankruptcy laws?

Brilliant
Revisado: 12-20-14
Would you listen to A Fighting Chance again? Why?
Yes - it's a great manual on the lead up to the current banking situation by a very
brilliant and articulate spokesman for the middle class.
What other book might you compare A Fighting Chance to and why?
All those relating to how the mess in 2008 happened. Her story is straight from
her own life.
What about Elizabeth Warren’s performance did you like?
Everything - she's vibrant and well spoken.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both.
Any additional comments?
I like her - what's not to like? She's smart and a very straight and articulate talker.
