I enjoyed both voices, and I like when the books are dual POV alternating between the guy and girl. I had a chuckle to myself when I first started the audio because one of the narrators is the same narrator as the book I had just finished. Thank you for no cliffhanger! I mean, the story is not by any means done, this is book 1 of the trilogy, but it has an ending, a good pause, if you will. I received a copy of this audiobook from audiobooks boom.

It's Alfie McQuinn, the notorious cat burglar, and he's dying. On a foggy night in Amsterdam, a man falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. "Loot hits the jackpot." - Rick Riordan, #1  New York Times bestselling author But the author does a wonderful job of exposing just enough reality of those times and events without explicitly describing the true evil. When I first began the book I thought that the dark corners of evil that the author brings into the story in the form of Ada’s mother and later the evil perpetrated on the young Jewish girl, Ruth, before she escaped to come live with Ada and Jamie and Susan, would be too horrible for tweens. The story is a beautifully compelling work of historical fiction that is perfect for any high schooler or tween. Jaime adapts readily to his happier life, but Ada is haunted by her past and the rest of this fantastic tale is the story of how Ada learns to trust and ultimately to love others and cherish good in people. The kindly woman, Susan, who has taken Ada and her brother in as part of the government plan to evacuate children from London during the bombing raids of World War II, has her work cut out for her as she unexpectedly becomes Ada and Jamie’s sole guardian. She is lame, due to a club foot, but at the start of this second volume in the series, Ada gets that operation which will fix her foot and allow her to walk. The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley Īda is a young girl who starts life in horrible circumstances with an abusive mother and caring for her little brother. If the Bouvier women personified beauty, style and fashion, it was their lust for money and status that drove them to seek out powerful men, no matter what the cost to themselves or to those they stepped on in their ruthless climb to the top. Her sister, Lee, had liaisons with both of Jackie’s husbands in addition to her own three marriages-to an illegitimate royal, a Polish prince and a Hollywood director. Less well known is the story of her love affair with a world renowned architect and a British peer. and the story of their marriage is legendary, as is the story of her second marriage to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. They followed in their mother’s footsteps after her marriages to the philandering socialite “Black Jack” Bouvier and the fabulously rich Standard Oil heir Hugh D. It was a lesson neither would ever forget. “Do you know what the secret to happily-ever-after is?” Janet Bouvier Auchincloss would ask her daughters Jackie and Lee during their tea time. "Taraborrelli's gossipy narrative revels in luxurious decor, stunning outfits, and soap-operatic fights in this entertaining saga." - Publishers Weekly A dazzling audiobook biography of three of the most glamorous women of the 20th Century: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, her mother Janet Lee Auchincloss, and her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill. In historical novels, I like to learn a little about the setting, customs, history, landscape, plants, herbs and clothing, but just a little. I have to admit, it was hard for me to stick with for the first ten or so chapters, because it moved so slowly. It is not set in Bible times and places, however it is set in eighteenth-century Scotland, and is filled with customs and culture from that time. This is a historical novel based on a story in the book of Genesis in the Bible. What made me pick up this book was the message on the back cover, which asked a question: Could she learn to live without love for the rest of her life? I wanted to know how this book resolved that question, and I especially wanted to know how it resolved it from a Christian viewpoint. I love to revisit books, especially novels, the way I love to re-live moments in my life, which is why I have a ridiculous amount of journals, scrapbooks and photo albums. I think I started writing them because when I find a particularly inspiring, thought-provoking, well-written book, I can’t bear to lose the memories of the experience. I have been perusing my binder full of book reviews, which I’ve been writing for the past 20 years or so. |
