Story4.5 out of 5 stars 763
Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts. What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question.

Little choices to make the leap
Reviewed: 08-18-23
The story was well written and performed. All the small choices we make every day, leads to the leap of infidelity. This was personally insightful, as my father was a “cheater” and I never really understood the appeal. Now I know an accumulation of intentional actions, allow for the leap. Enjoy!

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 1,301
This story is told in the words of a tragic figure in American history - a hook-nosed, hollow-cheeked old Sauk warrior who lived under four flags while the Mississippi Valley was being wrested from his people. The author is Black Hawk himself - once pursued by an army whose members included Captain Abraham Lincoln and Lieutenant Jefferson Davis. Perhaps no Indian ever saw so much of American expansion or fought harder to prevent that expansion from driving his people to exile and death.

Would you try another book from Black Hawk and/or Brett Barry?
Not my cup of tea.
Have you listened to any of Brett Barry’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Brett was great. I'm just not a fan of the content.
Could you see The Autobiography of Black Hawk being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
It should be a video game and movie if it isn't already.
