This is a very moving story. Addiction, remorse, grief, and forgiveness play huge roles. The cruelty and unyielding harshness of this world are overcome by such compassion and grace. It’s a unique read. Totally in a class of its own. Wally Lamb is such a phenomenal writer. Read it! You won’t regret the effort.

This is a story with warm characters whom you love instantly. The identity issues are troubling and interesting. The narrator, however, is just awful. Every time she speaks a word with the letter “s” in it, her voice hisses. It’s very abrasive and distracting. Had the plot been less compelling, I would have returned the book instantly. Will not listen to another read by this person ever again. It was torture.

I loved the characters. Rounded and flawed people, they were so endearing. The African Gray Parrots were brilliant. I’d never heard of them before and learned a lot from and about them. Monica Wood is now one of my favorite authors. Her care for her characters is evident and remarkable. The narrator was wonderful - thoughtful and carefully paced. I would recommend this one to anyone wanting a new and fresh reading experience.

This is so real. I felt as if I knew her. What a terrible price she paid for her freedom and dignity. Narrator was less than effective - a very harsh voice. But the story - wow! It will grab you and never let go.

I enjoyed this book so much! Perfect narration and a compelling coming of age story. Quindlen is an artist who paints characters so vividly that they become a part of one’s life. I read all of her books and am never disappointed. This one is my favorite.

The narration is perfect for this very thoughtful book. It’s loaded with information but also inspires a sense of wonder. The decision-making part of medical treatment is so humbling. It was helpful to hear about a variety of cases. The book makes you think about your own health and frailty. It is truly awe-inspiring.

Remarkably well-narrated, this story held my attention throughout. I truly enjoyed every part and could hardly put it aside for real life moments. Recommend highly.

This is a very moving story about a family that could be any of ours. Loss and grief, strength and effort are woven through it. I could not put this family out of my head. They lived inside me. Anna Quindlen is a remarkably talented writer. Her stories are so real. They stay with you, truly.
