Gets you completely hooked!

Brilliant narration. Plot is quite good, always leaves you a bit surprised, some books more than others, on who the culprit is. Nicely weaves subplots in as well and nurtures the itch to read the next book in line.

Always an Interesting and surprising twist.

Revisado: 12-26-23

Truly love the build of the story line, with subplots, and sub stories. Our narrator is truly fabulous. And the end like all the others has a twist, making us excited for the next book.

Wonderful story about knowing who you are and what fills you with joy!

Revisado: 08-07-23

Truly enjoyable story about owning who are you and giving yourself permission to live joyfully regardless of what others may say! A true coming of 70s age!

Great performance by the narrator! Thank you Judy.

A consequential and important part of the dark side of American history and moving forward in spite of it.

Revisado: 01-14-23

I am only beginning to understand the consequential nature US American bigotry on Japanese-Americans, both residents and citizens. This book shares this impact both personally to the Yasui family and the Japanese-American people as a whole.

It is a must read. Follow it up by watching the documentary by Lise Yasui, “A Family Gathering.”

Great story with an unexpected double twist at the end.

Revisado: 04-25-22

1) Thus is a great, unfortunately rather realistic, story line, with a heck of a plot twist.
2) the twist solves other subplots make sense.
3) the reader is great with just the right amount of suspense, excitement and Hesitation in the right places.
4) thank you.

Excellent and detailed book about Polish Jewish girls and women resistance fighters; a must read

Revisado: 12-01-21

I was truly enthralled, encouraged and pained by the stories of so many Polish Jewish girls and women resistance fighters. The stories truly need to be told again and again.
At the same time as I listen to their emigration to Palestine and Israel, I am pained by the occupation and sometimes brutality of Palestinian Christians, Muslims and secularists in their own land by the Israeli government.

I can’t help but think about Palestinians whose homes that were taken from them without compensation or choice in Palestine to make way for Jewish people, and whose homes and land are still being taken from them without choice by Israelis in Palestinian homeland.
My feelings are rife with conflict.

Good storyline about WWII courageous women.

Revisado: 08-14-21

This was a good cross-generational story about women hero’s of WWII. Albeit fictional it is certainly based on facts.
The reader didn’t distinguish the characters enough so it was difficult at first to know which character was “speaking.”

Delightful book that makes you feel good all over.

Revisado: 05-12-21

This is a delightful listen, like sitting on a blanket in the afternoon sun in a park watching all the activity of a park full of people.

The performance was grand. The storyline was not predictable as it could have ended a few different ways and would have been good with any of them given the way the main character evolved and became richer and fuller.

Thank you.

A long overdue novel - READ THIS ONE!

Revisado: 04-24-21

It took a bit to get into it and as the book went along I appreciated the details that got me deeper into the book.

I would wish more books were written about women hero’s of war and everyday courageous living that changes people’s lives.
Thank you Ariel!

Excellent fiction book that allows nonfiction painful history to be absorbed without diluting it.

Revisado: 03-25-21

The performances were excellent. I could easily find myself exactly where performers were in the story. It takes a little bit to get into the story, but is well worth pushing through.
I appreciate the story movement from the prior century to contemporary times.
I will say the closing secret of the contemporary character was not that shocking and I didn’t quite see how it connected to the overall plot. Others may see differently.
Nonetheless I highly recommend this book. Thank you Lisa.
