Individual Chapters

Revisado: 02-03-25

It was so long and involved it took me almost a year to finish it because I kept picking it up and putting it down. I will never forget the first chapter and I really liked chapter 59. There were so many nuggets of truth and observation that I had to go to the end. Also, so many places mentioned a special place in my heart! Thanks for the book.

Not a stand out for me, it was good.

Revisado: 10-15-24

I liked the depth of illness explained.
I did not like the dismissive and heavily judged position women in this story held.
Narration was a bit painful to listen to. I wanted to see what kind of book receives a Nobel prize.

Good story, too long

Revisado: 10-12-24

Hi, there were far too many chapters discussing the color of Luke’s eyes and the curl of his lips could have been shortened. Overall story was very good.

Everything works out in the end

Revisado: 07-24-24

I was reading this for Book Club, the story was all right, but I felt it lacked depth for all the drama that was packed into it. I wish I liked it more, mostly I just wanted to finish it.

The narration felt pained, full of effort and a bit flat.

75%battles25%history

Revisado: 07-11-24

I appreciate hearing the history. I could have done without the play-by-play on each battle, and given more time to the pre-Inca history and more information about Peru less information about the transfer of power from year to year. Was Peru the entire landmass and broken down into Bolivia, Argentina and Chile? That’s what I concluded from this rendering of history? Were there originally no geographic lines of countries until later? And did Europe install those geographic lines during colonization; similar to the division of the? It was a short book, that led me to more questions that I will continue to investigate.

The narration was all right, some of the high notes and low notes at the end of each word could be reduced.

Thank you!

Disillusionment/Idealism uncovered

Revisado: 05-06-24

I loved the weaving of so many complex issues of generations, bringing light to stories that need to be told. I did not and do not like the reality of future generation continuing to make decisions that send children into a world that does not have a goal to value all lives and experiences.

Perfectly woven

Revisado: 12-14-23

The weaving of the stories was complete, like a perfectly knit sweater. The historical reference made it more so! It was complex, and evenly told showing the internal struggles of our implicit and explicit biases.with regard to differences throughout the eras the story covered. I never lost interest or felt the author stray from her point.

I felt the reading of the story got confusing because the narrator’s reading of the different character voices sounded the same, and I needed to rewind to figure out who was speaking. Also, Jess’s voice did not seem to fit the character. This did not detract from the story!!

Exhaustion of arrogance

Revisado: 10-23-23

I enjoyed the book, and was hoping for more of a thread, as one of the reviews suggested. The detached and obtuse tone in the voices of all of the narrators, left me with the feeling they were exhausted just recounting the history. Which in retrospect may have been the point. The attitude of arrogance surrounding the business of finance/money by all parties not wanting to appear affected by power. Taking into account, the tragedy and loneliness in each character’s life added to the weight of the novel.

Don’t stop listening

Revisado: 08-04-21

You will want to, as the endless stories of disappointing doctors visits drones on and on…driving home the feeling so many of us share regarding the medical establishment.
Yet, each story illustrates the rabbit holes each doctor sends patients down because the establishment has not unified and drawn obvious connections to so many ailments plaguing our society and ignoring accessible, preventative care options. Thank you, Sarah, for your time, research, and commitment to not giving up on yourself or any of us.

An Thank you, Dr. Ramey for really seeing your daughter.
