Reads like a solemn bow to the human experience and like a hug to each of us in the middle of it.
A quiet triumph
Review from The Correspondent →
Theo of Golden! So sweet wonderful and going to listen to this over and over again! Heartwarming, a book I’m recommending to everyone! Must be on a booklist!
I loved the format of this book. I know it may not be for some but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a lost art these days.
Loved the unique style of writing and story. Excellent narration and character development. A really sweet story.
The story of course is powerful – both in what is written and what is left unsaid. The performances by the actors are phenomenal.
I listened to this book on my daily walks, it kept me entertained and interested throughout. Getting to know all the characters in Sybil’s orbit was a fun challenge. This book is a great reminder to get with it now and connect, or reconnect, with those you love. It’s later than we think.
A great reminder of how we never know someone else’s story, and how parts of that story explain the behaviors we may see and experience. Letter correspondence was a wonderful way for the author to share this story.
I found this book rather disheartening and It definitely did not contribute positively to the perception of the Catholic religion. While it had an unexpected turn of events and a satisfying conclusion, I felt the pacing was excessive.
