Great Story, Not my Fav Narration

Revisado: 02-28-25

I thought the story was great but had just read “A Girl Called Samson” by the same author right before and that was a 10/10 for me, so it was a tough act to follow. I thought this story was well written but didn’t love it as much as Samson, and also felt like the narrators weren’t incredible….just ok. Definitely worth a read if you’re interested in the time period, however.

Absolutely incredible!

Revisado: 01-26-25

The best book on WWII I have ever read (and I’ve read a lot!) I felt like the narrator embodied the characters’ emotions in an incredible way. The writing was top notch and I loved the ending and epilogue. Loved that it was a true story too!!!

Absolutely loved!

The story was well developed and believable. It was not a one week Christmas romance like so many stories, but a slow burn. Favorite “Christmas” book I’ve read by far. So well done!!!

Loved every minute hearing about Vance’s origins! Language warning-don’t listen around kids. So good!

Dynamic Characters, Beautiful Imagery!

Revisado: 01-16-24

Overall I loved this story but my opinion may have been a little tainted by watching the movie on Netflix first. I generally have a rule for myself that I must read the book before seeing the movie but I bent the rules for this one. I LOVED the movie! I loved the book too, in different ways. I absolutely loved the imagery and the way the author wrote in a smooth river of words that ebbed and flowed like breathing. The imagery lended itself to the fact that the main character, Marie, is blind…which made perfect sense for the story to be so rich in word choice. I felt it helped to embody the character of Marie, since she could not see and had to “picture” things in other ways. The character development was so rich and strong it felt like I knew the characters personally. I felt the audiobook reader did not have as much diversity in switching between characters as I prefer. But the story was so strong that I still enjoyed listening and would definitely recommend!

Full circle

Revisado: 11-23-23

I’ve read many, many WWII books. This one now ranks in my top favorites. I love that it’s based on a true story and is told in a way that has strong character development, making the plot both interesting and believable. My favorite part, without giving too much away is that the book comes full circle. Many WWII books I have read end when the War is over. This one doesn’t…that’s all I’ll say. I was engaged until the last second. Must read for yourself!! Incredibly told with great insight, skill and emotion.

Loved it!

Such a good storyline! It’s always a toss up on prequels but I feel like this one was well done-kept me constantly thinking and making connections, having read the other books that “come after” this one. I wish the ending was better developed but overall I really loved it! Narrator was pretty good-I didn’t love him at first but then grew to really like his voice and the way he told the story. Excited for the movie coming out soon!!

Incredible!

This book was so unbelievably well written, it’s hard to describe it and do it justice. I was guessing at every turn and felt like I knew the characters personally. You just need to read it for yourself! The audiobook was so well done!!!

Amazing!

Revisado: 04-30-21

It’s hard to put it all into words, but I feel like I could have written many of these chapters myself. Meaning I completely relate to and have felt many of the ways Kat has felt. I’ve asked a lot of the same questions and at 37, am really just discovering many of the lies and fear that have held me back from relationships without my knowledge. This audiobook, read by the author is engaging, encouraging, affirming and thought provoking. It was exactly what I needed at this point in time, as I have been on a journey of discovering what she talks about in the book over the past few years. I love her honesty and bravery in saying the things others have not been able to say. Women from the purity movement need to read this book so they can move on with their lives and fully embrace all that God has. Amazing! Thank you, Kat!!
