This is a very good read, the story line a little pretictive but so endearing.

A very addictive read.

An absolutely brilliant story, beautifully narrated by Laurence Bouvard who really brought the characters alive. Anita Shreve writes such brilliant books, each one is different but all that l have read so far have been superb

I am a huge fan of Anita Shreve. This story was engaging but the plot lacked some of the interesting twists and turns of the best novels. The reader is good but not at her best with male voices.

Not quite as good as the best.

I have enjoyed Anita Shreve's books but found this one to be predictable and with nothing new to say. It was not helped by a poor performance by the reader. She is unable to do male voices, so compensates but shouting whenever a male character is speaking.

Disappointing

I gave the story 4 stars because I love Anita Shreve! However, I didn't get to find out what happened after chapter 2 because the narration completely put me off. To me it sounded like every male voice was harsh & forced (& the same) & totally interfered with my ability to hear the story. Frustrating.

Irritating narration!
