Despite the talented cast of narrators, this is not a book you want to listen to on Audible!!It is so slow moving and tedious to the point that I finally gave up with still 2 1/2 hours to go. The narrators SLOWLY READ through every name, address, zip code, and date for every single chapter,..
Loved how you get to know the character so completely & see how a life goes by so quickly in both important & mundane days. I feel like I would know her intimately if I met her. One of the best reads in a while. Definitely recommend!

This book is the novel every author wishes they knew how to write. The story is captivating. The style is innovative. The characters are complex and real. The lessons are universal. I will read this again in a few decades and in the meantime, will recommend it to everyone.

Maybe this would be interesting to someone that doesn’t have a lot going on. That is the kindest thing I can say about this book. Sorry, I just don’t have time to listen to the mundane innocuous details of these people‘s lives.

Very unique concept of a story told via letters to and from the main character, but it really worked and was a moving tale of Sybil’s life.
At first, I wasn’t sure about this book, but after the first chapter, I was hooked. Told with wit and wisdom from the heart, but with boldness and honesty. I grew fond of Sybil over her letters as she softened and opened up. It’s a book for all ages, but as a 70-year-old, found it..

Thoughtful & introspective, touching & humorous reflection on the life of a retired intellectual woman. She highlights her greatest accomplishments & regrets as she navigates the final chapter of her life.

The narration was wonderful! All the characters came alive with full emotion. Reading it would not do it justice; it must be listened to. It is a story of forgiveness that will stay with you. I cried at the end. Because the character found forgiveness? Or because she needed forgiveness?

This is a very heavy story about loss and grief. Beautiful and so well written and narrated.
