Story3.5 out of 5 stars 81
Under-appreciated until now, The Lost Girl is perhaps D.H. Lawrence's most beautiful, thoroughly contemporary, love story. This captivating novel charts the journey of a woman caught between two worlds and two lives, one mired in dreary, industrial England and a life of convention, the other set in the vibrant Italian landscape holding the promise of sensual liberation.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I don't think anything could improve this book.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Johanna Ward?
Narrator was good at portraying the character.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Boredom, frustration, annoyance
Any additional comments?
Was disappointed by this story... It was just super dull and took forever for anything to develop! The main character really is lost, takes forever to decide anything and makes you want to slap her.. The narrator's voice makes her whiny and even more annoying. Wouldn't recommend unless you have a lot of time to be bored.

Pi Patel has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, everyone boards a Japanese cargo ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon it's just Pi, the tiger, and the vast Pacific Ocean - for 227 days. Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle.
