One of the best book I have read recently

Wow, I learned so much from this book. As an Israeli living in Israel after the brutal attack on innocent civilians where some of them were taken prisoners, I see many similarities with the period of the Vietnam war. Governments that dictates your present and future and terrorists who abuse people and treat them like they are slaves and even worse. And you are in the middle, trying to do your best for your country like the young American soldiers and nurses who served their country, no questions asked. The narration is amazing. Highly recommend reading it.

A lovely and moving historical fiction

This is a wonderful novel and story. It is amazing how the author was able to build the story from the ground up. As a Jewish person I appreciated the historical context and facts about the Jewish community in Rome. I was taught in school about the holocaust and visited Auschwitz but knew little about the story of the ghetto in Rome. So, thank you to author and her diligent research. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves reading historical novels.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

I’m not for royal family dramas. But I do stay tuned to world news so I am not ignorant. I wanted to hear Harry’s version on what had happened since princes Diana died and how truly his wife Meghan was treated.

This is One of the best stories I have ever read. The story exposed me to the history of the United States during the Great Depression. Kristin Hannah knows how to bring history to life, love, family in hardship. She always reflects upon the power of women and their endurance. Amazing and powerful story.

This book was a big surprise to me. I loved the story and the narration. Even though I’m not a person with motor disabilities I found the book inspirational. I also loved the addition by Katherine Center at the end of the book. I am really looking forward to reading more of Katherine’s books.

Since the last guy turned out to be married, they’ve been easy-to-follow. Until him. Callum Huxley is a ridiculously sexy Brit, and the connection we have the moment our eyes lock scares the ever-loving hell out of me. Thank God I came to my senses before going back to his hotel where I would’ve ended up naked, panting, and unable to forget him. Thinking I walked away from that night unscathed was stupid. Sure enough, at the biggest meeting of my career waits the CEO of Dovetail Enterprises - him. It might be the most embarrassing moment of my professional life.

The story of this book is so predictable, I could have written it myself. Andi Arndt can’t make a British accent to save her life. If you like the whole series, skip this one. Really, it is not worth your time.

This is a very special book. Rarely do I have watery eyes when I listen to audio books, but this one did it to me. So beautiful, sensitive and intelligent along with a wonderful story full of love, heartbreak and even suspense.
The narration was excellent.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who understands that every human being is born different and special.
