Story
Kemal, scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation. Once the long-lost cousins violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeosie - a world, as he lovingly describes it, with opulent parties and clubs, society gossip, picnics, and mansions on the Bosphorus, infused with the melancholy of decay.

Story
East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.

Enthralling and heartwrenching
Fantastic characters who share their emotion and growth with you. You are frustrated when they are angry, you are sad when they are remorseful. I wanted to stay in the present at first in the world of competitive ballet in Paris in the 70s, but as the story line develops and the mysteries draw you in, I wanted to stay in the Spanish civil war story. I had been wary of this since there weren't a lot of reviews although this is not a brand new audiobook. However, this gamble payed off. I could hardly stop listening. Even plugging in with my eyes closed for a few more minutes at night before falling asleep. Great ties between family generations portraying the love and both the misunderstanding and understandings across generations.

Would you listen to Golden Earrings again? Why?
The story is seen and told from 3 different angles and perspectives - none is 100% correct, but together they unfold an amazingly fascinating tale that winds it's way through a very interesting part of history.

In order to accomplish her potential as a premier dancer she needs to reveal who she truly is, and then use her hidden talents.

Mamie

Loved this book...
The history of the Spanish Civil War, the well developed characters and the storyline make this an excellent audiobook. Caroline Lee, as usual, does an outstanding narration. I definitely recommend this book.

I spent most if this book just wanting it to end. I've enjoyed her other books, but this one just wasn't interesting to me.

Engrossing story.
If you could sum up Golden Earrings in three words, what would they be?
History, family, insight.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Paloma's grandmother, who was loving, forgiving and protective, was for me the crux of the story that unfoded for Paloma.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The French accents were good. The switches between Spanish and French 'voices' were poor, often not changing when the character changed, then changing part way through. The underlying Australian accent intruded at times, like another character that had no identity.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The dance of history.
Any additional comments?
The recording should have been more carefully edited and polished regarding the 'voices' of the characters.
