Excellent!

Revisado: 04-06-23

I enjoyed this book very much and will continue on in the series. It was interesting to listen to what medievel life was like - not for kings and queens - but for everyday people. I also appreciated learning more about life after the plague. Well done, Ms. Swinfen!

Very Different!

Revisado: 03-11-23

I can't decide which genre this book best fits with. It's not like anything I've read before. At this time, when climate and warfare have caused so many people to become refugees, I believe this is a very important story. Highly recommended!

LOVED IT !

Revisado: 02-08-23

I'm a white woman in my 60s who lives in the country. My favorite genre is history and historical fiction. So, it might seem a little off that I loved this book so much, but I really did. Bravo, Mr. Fofana!

Sound mixing is fine, thus my 3 stars for performance. However, it's clear that separate tracks were mixed and this is not a recording from nature. Crickets are nocturnal, birds are diurnal. When I bought the recording, I thought that I'd hear crickets separately from birds - as it would be in nature. Instead there is the very unnatural sound of crickets chirping while birds are happily singing. It's just weird.

Cuckoo's Nest

Revisado: 10-01-22

I hesitated to buy the audio edition of the book because I've seen the film several times. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book differed from the movie in some ways - mainly that the story-teller is Chief Brome, played by Will Sampson in the movie. His point of view, and his background, made the story great for me.

Inspiring

Revisado: 08-02-22

I didn't take this book seriously at first, and couldn't explain to myself why I bought it. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it, and learned from it. I have never listened to an audiobook twice, but I will relisten to this one.

Even the dog's life was destroyed!

Revisado: 07-24-22

This is such a depressing book, but I couldn't walk away from it. I finished in one day. I listened to the audio edition that was narrated by the author. His narration was okay, but occasionally I struggled to understand what he said.

Intimate and Sad

Revisado: 07-18-22

I learned a great deal about European medieval history from this book - not just about the plague. It's a bit repetitive, but I didn't mind. The personal stories of those who died from plague, and those who survived, brought the history alive. The narration is excellent!

Tashunka Witko (Crazy Horse)

Revisado: 06-29-22

I first read this book 54 years ago. I was 12 years old, and I've read my well-worn paperback several times since then. I can honestly say that the story of Crazy Horse influenced my world view. I learned to (at least try) to understand the outlook of people whose cultures are very different from my own. I also developed a life-long interest in the history of the First Nations of the Americas. I owe Mari Sandoz for enriching my life. I am pleased to experience the audio edition of my favorite book, and to be the first to review it on Audible.
