The story within the story was so well written. The choice of narrators was lovely. They carried the transitions and kept it all very interesting.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

A totally enjoyable listen with great narration. Had me imagining a completely different plot. Well done. I love it when I can’t guess what’s next.

Story
It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Story
England, 1835. London is awash with thrilling new ingredients, from rare spices to exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use them. When Eliza Acton is told by her publisher to write a cookery book instead of the poetry she loves, she refuses - until her bankrupt father is forced to flee the country. As a woman, Eliza has few options. Although she’s never set foot in a kitchen, she begins collecting recipes and teaching herself to cook. Much to her surprise, she discovers a talent - and a passion - for the culinary arts.

I am so glad to have listened to this book as I know i would have butchered the prose on my own. What a lovely story and insight into a world and time so different than our own.

Story
Set in a not-too-distant America, I Cheerfully Refuse is the tale of a bereaved and pursued musician embarking under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply beloved, bookselling wife. Rainy, an endearing bear of an Orphean narrator, seeks refuge in the harbors, fogs, and remote islands of the inland sea. Encountering lunatic storms and rising corpses from the warming depths, Rainy finds on land an increasingly desperate and illiterate people, a malignant billionaire ruling class, crumbled infrastructure, and a lawless society.

I truly enjoyed this book in a way many have not taken me. The Narrator was perfect. He filled the story telling even beyond the written words. He added just enough emotion to allow the listener to be in the moment along with him without whining or over acting. Well done to both writer and narrator!

Story
Space for a big garden. Fruit trees. A huge barn. A deck with an amazing view. The blackberry-infested property on the hill seemed to have limitless potential. When Tammy Owen moved from the city to a five-acre farm, she hoped to learn how to live closer to the land. What she learned instead was a lot about life.

Loved the story not the narrator
Reviewed: 02-11-19
When you listen to this book you can here the authors intent and humor but the narrator just doesn't get the timing. I loved the book. I was moved by the story. The author has great skill at taking you on her journey into farming and animal husbandry to the point of laughter and tears. I just wish it was read by. someone with more feeling. I found myself distracted by the flat tone of her voice and often would imagine how the author truly wanted the words of her book read. That being said, it is a great book.

This is an audiobook for anyone who enjoys being transported to another life and lifestyle, or who is interested in bees, homesteading, small farming, animals, organic gardening, farmers markets, human nature, and the hilarity and hardship that goes with all that. Funny, moving, and engrossing, you'll be transported to a world where one family tries to keep it all together as they juggle a farmyard full of animals, thousands of tourists in the garden, a hundred backpackers in the house, millions of bees in the air, and their commitment to the environment and each other.

A great listen
Reviewed: 08-17-18
I truly enjoyed listening to this audible so much so I bought the book. The book itself takes you on a journey that will make you laugh, cry and pause. The choice of narrator was excellent as well. Her voice and reading style really captured the moments bringing the word pictures to life. At times the style of wrihting drifts into poetry and then flips back to terrific story telling. Thank you for sharing your farm and your journey. From a lover of homesteading and the not so simple life.

Story
One month into our stay, we'd managed to dispatch most of our charges. We executed the chickens. One of the cats disappeared, clearly disgusted with our urban ways. And Lucky [the cow] was escaping almost daily. It seemed we didn't have much of a talent for farming. And we still had eleven months to go." Antonia Murphy, you might say, is an unlikely farmer. Born and bred in San Francisco, she spent much of her life as a liberal urban cliché, and her interactions with the animal kingdom rarely extended past dinner.
