About this listen

When Catherine learns that she is dying, she remembers the words her husband once jokingly uttered and decides to leave him the ultimate posthumous gift: a time capsule containing photographs of their life together along with tape recordings in which she recounts every secret she ever kept, every unspoken thought whether loving or treacherous - the things they never said.

Catherine's recordings shake up many of Sean's beliefs, sometimes enraging him and other times soothing with memories of the many joys that make up a life together. But even as the tapes provide an emotional roller coaster of surprises, Sean prays that they'll confirm the one thing he always secretly believed but never dared say out loud: that destiny exists; that their life together was not the result of mere chance.

I liked the story idea and was really looking forward to listening, but it was really annoying the way the days ended without a break. As the voice wasn’t different from Sean s and the recording, I found it difficult to keep up. A chapter number might have helped.

Good story idea, poor performance

This book was okay but not groundbreaking. The narration was good. Liked the concept and it kept me listening, but ultimately the story of the relationship made me wonder why the characters were together at all, and the ending wasn't particularly exciting which left me feeling a little flat. The references to Brexit also already felt a bit dated and jarring.

Okay

The narrator's voice really brought this book to life, if that's the right way of putting it, given the subject matter. Makes one consider their own mortality . . . and ending

Tearful ending

The characters are relatable and real and you can really feel what they're going through. At some point everyone loses someone incredibly important to them and I like how this story deals with the situation. It made me think that although for the most part, Sean and Katherine should have talked more, maybe there were some things that could have been left out. That being said they probably helped the grieving process. It's a good story and well told.

Loving and Soothing

I really enjoyed this once I got used to the narrator...I need to listen again as I was a little disoriented with a woman doing a man...don’t know why...but the story is so true ...loved it.
Thank you
