Style of communications via letter writing or email was inspiring to me on future correspondence
Fun to follow story
Review from The Correspondent →
The story was reasonably good, if one overlooks the clumsy misdirection of “Poppi’s” gender. But truly annoying was the adenoidal rendering of Helen’s maudlin soliloquies. Finally, the narrator, toward the end, couldn’t keep Helen’s adenoidal rendering straight and used it when the heroine was supposedly speaking. Very sloppy.
The character development unfolded in a unique way, much like one gets to know a new friend -or – a family member. Learning about Cybil, her career, marriage, motherhood, and last quarter of life was touching delivered. I loved this book! The narrator’s were wonderful. I hesitated to listen to a book about written letters,..
I loved the book. The audio made it even better. I generally pick books different from this genre but what a gift. .
Wow- it’s been a long time since I’ve read something this good! I could not put this down. I had to cancel my afternoon.
Lies lies and revenge for sure!! Such a good, who done it!! First book by this writer but not gonna be my last. Great narration, highly recommend!!
I host book club in a few months and this will be my book. I listened and I appreciated the many different narrators. her whole story comes out in letters….
Review from Every Precious and Fragile Thing →
I hate the narrator for Helen’s constantly pathetic voice. It really ruined this book for me. I was tempted numerous times to turn it off.
This author needs to do her homework. Story was good but any fool knows Nebraska doesn’t have forests. It’s a plains state. To make matters worse I am from Broken Bow. Old Bow really?
