About this listen

From the fertile hills of a tiny village near Jerusalem to the elegant townhouses of Georgetown, Three Daughters is a historical saga that chronicles the lives, loves, and secrets of three generations of Palestinian Christian women.

Born in rural Palestine, just before the dawn of the 20th century, Miriam adores her father and is certain his love will protect her, but she soon finds that tradition overrides love. Uprooted by war, Miriam enters a world where the old constraints slip away with thrilling and disastrous results. Miriam's rebellious daughter, Nadia, is thrilled with the opportunity for a modern life that her elite education provides. But when she falls in love with an outsider, the clan reins her back with a shocking finality. Nijmeh, Nadia's daughter, is an only child and the path her father, the sheik, sets for her is fraught with difficulties, yet it prepares her for her ultimate journey to America, where she finds her future.

Each woman, in her own time and in her own way, experiences a world in transition through war and social change... and each must stretch the bounds of her loyalty, her courage, and her heart.

Would you listen to Three Daughters again? Why?

It's a brilliant audiobook but I never listen to the same book again as there are so many other books I want to listen to!

What did you like best about this story?

It's a good story combined with some historical facts from a part of the world that I know little about.

What about Karen Peakes’s performance did you like?

She was brilliant! I often don't like it when the same reader uses different tones / accents for different characters but she did a very good job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were a lot of moving parts.

Any additional comments?

Would love to listen to more from the same author but her later books do not appeal to me as much as this one did.

Very enjoyable!

I have had this book in my library for a very long time and had a few false starts at listening to it. Initially I found the narration tedious and the story slow but perseverance is a great thing and I’ve ended loving the 20 + hours of this story (and the narration!).
I’ve just downloaded book 2 which is much shorter (9 hours ish) and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Got round to it eventually!
