In this close-up look at the ardent love affair between the author and her painting teacher, which began in the 1970s, when she was seventeen and he was forty-seven and married with two children, Ciment not only reflects on how their love ignited (who leaned in first for that kiss?) but interrogates her 1990s memoir on the subject, Half a Life. She asks herself if she told the whole truth when she wrote about their passion back then, and what truth looked like to her in the even longer-ago era of love-bead curtains when she fell in love.

The author’s honesty
Revisado: 06-22-24
I love this story and how it is told. I admired the author’s courage, honesty, bravery and willingness to dive deep into the subject. The view into this story from 3 perspectives of time provides much introspection not unlike what any of us experience in looking back at decisions we have made throughout our lives. I loved how the author and Arnold truly loved each other. It would be easy to judge the start of this story harshly and with good reason. Though in this story it seems the best judges are the insiders and not those of us looking it. I also thought the reader of this story did an amazing performance. She clearly has listened to the author’s words. She portrays the story through her voice with a deep sense and appreciation of the love that carries these two through to their final kiss.

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

In this darkly riveting debut novel - a sophisticated psychological mystery that is also an heartbreakingly honest meditation on memory, identity, and aging - an elderly woman descending into dementia embarks on a desperate quest to find the best friend she believes has disappeared, and her search for the truth will go back decades and have shattering consequences.

Sublime
Revisado: 04-16-20
An epic story with full breath characters woven into historical context educating this reader to slavery, freedom and utter persistence and strength of will and strong hearts. All wonderfully told by Isabel Allende and purely read by that shining star of Law and Order.

On May 27, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met a flirtatious little starling in a Viennese shop who sang an improvised version of the theme from his Piano Concerto no. 17 in G major. Sensing a kindred spirit in the plucky young bird, Mozart bought him and took him home to be a family pet. For three years the starling lived with Mozart, influencing his work and serving as his companion, distraction, consolation, and muse.

I was intrigued by the story and have a new appreciation for birds cohabiting and interacting with humans. The story I’m certain is a much better read than heard through this Audible performance. I wondered if the speaker was actually AI. I was driven mad by monotone and never pausing at the end of a sentence. I only stuck with it because of the story. There have been few Audible readers I have not warmed to. I tried with this one.

Nicole Krauss' first novel, Man Walks Into a Room, was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Award and her short fiction has been collected in Best American Short Stories. Now The History of Love proves Krauss is among our finest and freshest literary voices.
