Loved the book & the narration

Revisado: 06-16-23

I sure got a good glimpse of life in New York City and the struggles & sacrifices one has to make to live there. So glad the author escaped & found peace and prosperity away from the concrete jungle

Interesting & delightful glimpse

I loved reading about the families the author chauffeured. Her stories gave me a peek at the private world of personal drivers and interaction with her Saudi families

I was surprised how much I liked this book

This is a complex story but the writer serves us the characters in a little buffet allowing each individual to be thoroughly developed. The hardships the girls endured and their resiliency is extraordinary and so foreign to our modern comfortable lives. The writer has recreated the era with clever description and dialogue and the use of individual narrators for each character makes for a more entertaining listen

I loved this book!

This story was so interesting and captivating that I often found myself going back and re-reading many parts describing how the author survived as a young child lost in unfamiliar and hostile areas of India. His eventual adoption and relocation to a foreign country was stark contrast to his humble beginnings in rural India

This story flip flops from era to era

Revisado: 09-18-20

I had a difficult following the era and characters. Since I don't listen continuously it was difficult to keep up with the timeline. Many stories do have flashbacks but this one was confusing to me. The theme of womens oppression through the ages is an important topic & makes the point well

I love, love this book!

Revisado: 08-07-20

The way the author writes and narrates this book made me feel like I met a new friend and she shared her upbringing wih me. I found it interesting and not at all boring compared to many stories that lag and you force yourself to keep going to the end. Occasionally you read a book that makes you laugh, cry and sad when the story ends. This book is one of those and I'm going to miss her brilliant writing

Not worth reading. Just about all the info in this book has been widely reported over the years

A pleasant read but not captivating

Revisado: 04-06-19

I was not anxious to get back to reading this book but when I start something I'm determine to finish. It is an inspiring success story but thought too much repetition describing the writer's poverty and relationship. Came across as 'filler' rather than getting ahead with the process of moving forward in her life.
