We experience complex and dramatic history through the lives of Follet’s characters. Over decades we laugh and cry with some and despise others. Follett’s grasp
of historical details is remarkable and he is a master of plot embedded in those details. I didn’t want the trilogy to end and dreaded getting to the last page.

Larsen writes about the tragic sinking of the Lusitania with as much attention as is generally given to the sinking of the Titanic. He brings the passengers to life through their unique stories and presents a nuanced picture of Captain Turner and to a lesser extent the German UBoat enemy

captain. The backdrop is World War I and the politics of war and peace in England, Germany and the US. This is history and storytelling at their best, enhanced by the superb voice of the audiobook performer.

The development of the central character, Gretl is superbly done. The author succeeds in bringing to life a woman who is complex and three dimensional—and awfully clever at repartee! His supporting cast is essential to the plot line contending with guilt as well as grief, fear, cruelty, rage, revenge. The book is written with vivid scenes and dialogue you can almost hear.
Well you can hear it on Audible where the reader/actors are wonderful. They infuse the written word with life, and I felt like I was listening to a radio play. A satisfying read/listen with an unexpected and satisfying end.

The story of Eleanora Cohen unfolds as if one has come upon a ball of silvery yarn and lets it unfurl, following it as one is led through a precocious child’s mind and the paths of a magnificent exotic city. Mysterious birds appear and vanish leaving the reader/listener with more questions than answers. The author’s writing flows as beautifully as the Bosphorus.

Briefly: this is a fun read, or should I say a fun listen! Author Balson reveals an aspect of WW2 I hadn't known regarding details of Germany's attempt to create an atomic bomb. His characters are likeable and are often in danger. The suspense moves the story along. The dialogue is realistic with a touch of humor at times despite the challenging circumstances. The only negative is that narrator Berman is not so good at differentiating the characters with his voice and attempt at German accents. He does best with nuclear scientist Alison Fisher. Nonetheless, An Affair of Spies is satisfying and on the whole well done.
