Great Story
Review from Eve’s Daughters →
The first main character started off annoying but I stuck with it and it turned out to be really good.
The marketing of this book outdistances its actual content. That said, the content is at best ok. There are a few historical nuggets and gems that are interesting in the book, but overall, I cannot recommend or not recommend it. It is highly “meh.”
A compelling portrait of 19th century America that looks a whole lot — distressingly so — like 21st century America.
Really good story! Kept me listening. Surprises & heart ache. I really enjoyed listening. More please!
The narrators were great and the story was funny, entertaining, and baking-centric. Very enjoyable listen.
Interesting story but really didn’t care for the narrator. Very flat voice that took me out of the story every time.
I like long stories, but they must hold my interest. This one took a while to hook me, but it was a wonderful read when it did. It was full of examples of how the culture and religion dictated behavior over four generations. It made me think about the issues my own mother and grandmother..
I always appreciate stories that have multiple voice actors but I just couldn’t get past the voice for Stella. Thank goodness the others really seemed engaging. Storyline is very unique and interesting insight on Netflix’s biggest baking show (purely fictional). I do think this book deserves more stars than others have given it.
I was caught up in the generational journeys. The stories reminded of Gods continued grace for his children.
