In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family.

It was okay.

I felt like the entire time I was listening I kept waiting for the story to take off, however it just never did. The story was okay, but it lacked that special element that made you want to listen more and more.

Loved the book, not the recording
Reviewed: 04-16-19
The book was great, I really loved the story. This recording however, was terrible. You can actually hear the reader touching and turning pages during the recording; mouth noises and background noises we're enhanced and her voice was never quite loud enough. I could only sit through a few pages of this and had to return it. The book is worth the read though.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17,254
Helene Wecker's dazzling debut novel tells the story of two supernatural creatures who appear mysteriously in 1899 New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a strange man who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic. When her master dies at sea on the voyage from Poland, she is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York Harbor. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire, born in the ancient Syrian Desert. Trapped in an old copper flask by a Bedouin wizard centuries ago, he is released accidentally by a tinsmith in a Lower Manhattan shop.

Boring.
Reviewed: 12-18-17
You keep waiting for the story to take off but it never does. The book, itself, keeps the same tone the whole way through and while the narrator is wonderful the book left something to be desired.
