Fun, interesting, romantic

A good listen overall. Entertaining while also showing good respect for women and learning about WW2 in France.

Awesome classic very relevant today

Revisado: 08-20-20

A great read on many levels. Depth of wisdom and heart. A vision to hold on to, and a fire next time that he says we could avoid only if we wake up to what’s needed. Good narration too.

The story, narration, and capturing of emotions and music were beautiful. I could relate to all the characters.

Love this book.

I stumbled on this and I’m so grateful. I went back to read some of her other books too. This is the best. The history , the writing, the story and the narration are top notch.
I keep coming back to it. Just finished a third listen.

Great points, for white Americans

Revisado: 05-15-19

I think he is an important messenger and this book captures important points. But his use of “we” is bothersome. He acts like he is speaking for all but what he really refers to by “we” is “we white middle class Americans” but he doesn’t acknowledge that, which I find naive. He is not aware that he is not talking about others’ perspectives. People of color have known for much longer how off our society is and how much they have suffered. It is only white people who are newly waking up to the falseness of the American ideal.
While I’m finding the book very good in many respects it is hard to keep listening when that fundamental “we” error is on every page. I feel torn because I think it could have been a brilliant book otherwise. I wish he would revise and acknowledge who this is for. Without that it’s a big slap in the face for people of color.

Entertaining love story

Revisado: 04-25-19

I like Amy Harmon’s writing and the narration is excellent. She writes romance with substance. I like how she includes social commentary too. A good listen.
I only chose less than 5 to save 5 for all-time best books.

A great listen. A great book. Inspiring and fascinating.

Don’t miss this one.
As a career coach, I recommend it to my clients now. She captures how to make a life and choose a career path, among other wise words.
And the powerful messages about race, class, sexism, are shared in a way that anyone could understand and appreciate. She has a gentle strength.
And to learn more about Barack was fascinating too. An important piece of history.
Enjoy!

Important story with great performance. Highest recommendation

Revisado: 03-27-18

I hope you read this. It's important. It brings hard news into heartwarming real life stories with lots of love.
Good for all audiences teen to adults of all ages.
I am picky about books and narration. This gets my highest review.

If you tend to avoid violence and swearing and hard stuff, don't let that scare you away. it's worth it. Nothing is gratuitous. There's more heart than anything. I loved all the characters.

Enjoyable and good handling of racism and immigration backdrop too. Predictable.

Revisado: 03-21-18

Somewhat trite but still held my interest to the end. I liked all the characters. I liked the handling of race and immigrant issues and family dynamics and definitely refreshing over typical white-centric novels.
