Southern China, 1923. Desperate to secure her future, Mei Ling’s parents arrange a marriage to a widower in California. To enter the country, she must pretend to be her husband’s first wife - a paper wife. On the perilous voyage, Mei Ling takes an orphan girl named Siew under her wing. Dreams of a better life in America give Mei Ling the strength to endure the treacherous journey and detainment on Angel Island. But when she finally reaches San Francisco, she’s met with a surprise. Her husband, Chinn Kai Li, is a houseboy, not the successful merchant he led her to believe.

Smart story. Great research. Interesting footnotes. Perfect narration. I’m not sorry that I didn’t get to it before because I had it to look forward to even if I didn’t know it!

Not too busy
Revisado: 03-15-19
What a wonderful way to start my day. I often think I’m too busy to sit still at the beginning of the day but these meditations give me a sense of hopefulness and calm and are becoming one of the best parts of my day. I wish you the same.

In the midst of what should be an effulgent time of life, with its days bright with music, family, and rowing on the Seine, Jules is confronted headlong and all at once by a series of challenges to his principles, livelihood, and home, forcing him to grapple with his complex past and find a way forward. He risks fraud to save his terminally ill infant grandson, matches wits with a renegade insurance investigator, is drawn into an act of savage violence, and falls deeply, excitingly in love with a young cellist who is a third his age.

Fantastic story. Lyrical, intelligent writing. Beautifully interpreted narration. I am so happy I took the opportunity to purchase from the daily deal. This is why I read...and listen.

Struggling to cope with urban life - and life in general - Frankie, a 20-something artist, retreats to her family's rural house on "turbine hill", vacant since her grandmother's death three years earlier. It is in this space, surrounded by countryside and wild creatures, that she can finally grapple with the chain of events that led her here - her shaky mental health, her difficult time in art school - and maybe, just maybe, regain her footing in art and life.

Disappointing
Revisado: 03-21-18
I completely enjoyed Spill Simmer Falter Wither and was excited about a new book by the same author. I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. The story is about a depressed young woman who never gets better. The only hopeful part is her understanding mother. I listened to the end but there was no redemption. Sorry I can’t say anything positive.

Not my kind of listen but boy am I lucky I did! Story improbable. Main character unbelievable. Narration flawless and imaginative! Don’t listen to be uplifted. Listen to be entertained second by second. Do yourself a favor and get this now!

So lovely I think I'll buy a hardback!
Revisado: 02-28-17
What a charming, lovely and loving story with a background of food and recipes that keeps giving and giving. A very small criticism is the poor pronunciation of the French vocabulary. That certainly won't stop me from looking at this in print and spending the day cooking snd remembering cherished friends!

It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart.

This is a long listen and that is good news! The story goes forward and backs up but the listener is never lost. The reader is excellent, finding voice after perfect voice that makes listening almost like watching a movie. Buy this and get ready to be taken away to unparalleled story land.

Delightfully Meaningful
Revisado: 03-24-15
Jane's journey to self-realization and self-redemption is bravely and wittily undertaken in And Then There Were Nuns. She is so human with a larger than human sense of humor and tells her story with just the right amount of pathos. Wonderfully read by Elizabeth Wiley.
