The outdated and nearly forgotten art of letter writing was so masterfully used to tell a very human story. I loved it.
This was such an interesting book. It was very very creative. I encourage you to listen and read the production of this audiobook was one of the best I’ve listened to. almost as good as All the Light we cannot See. It was terribly sad but wonderful.
Oh my. This is now one of my new favorite books to listen to. I loved each and every one of the characters and can visualize the entire story
It took me a bit to get into (maybe too distracted?), but once dots started to connect, I was hooked. The story is created through the relationships Sybil has, makes, destroys and rebuilds. There is love, mystery, surprises, and tragedy. The casting was phenomenal and just made it that much more complete. A must read,..
I love to read but I believe this wonderful story is even better when listened to. The actors bring the various correspondents to life. The story is rich and human and real. Now in my top ten which says a lot for a 66 year old reader.
I liked everything. I liked how she tied up all the loose ends. I liked the main character’s eventual total honesty and vulnerability. I listened to it in one day.
It started slow but became more interesting. I found the repeating of the address with each correspondence annoying – seemed unnecessary and distracting. Also seemed there were chunks missing at times or stories left unfinished. Overall it was worth the credit and am glad I stuck with it.
Starts a little slowly but I became engrossed as I listened to this book. I find it so interesting to learn how a life touches so many others and how those touch points change over time. I listened to this twice!
