Wow. I just finished listening to this audiobook. I love how the characters were such attractive, successful, deeply loving people with equally terrible struggles. No spoilers here, I won't speak too much about the struggles, but the strength of the women was inspirational and despite ambivalent feelings remained strong . I really loved the the "best friend"ship. I may listen to this one again. I know I will go see the movie for sure. I hope it is as true to the book as it can possibly be. And next I believe I will seek out more work by this author. Definitely don't miss this story. it's epic and it resonates deeply.

I am 1970 model and my parents were the Vietnam era. My father was unable to enlist and was then never drafted, but I grew up among many who had lost their dads, uncles, even grandfathers in Vietnam. I grew up watching MASH which was Korea but was still the type of mobile/temporary hospital that was featured in this particular story. That enabled me to picture these units the nurses and doctors and corpsmen served in. I loved this tribute to the nurses esp, who came home and were denied the services they needed. (I am also a nurse who has horses, the therapy of my life as well) I also love that the women of Vietnam brought to the public eye and general knowledge of women in the military. Maybe not as much in the moment of their homecoming, unfortunately, but definitely since. And this book is a greatvtribute to them. I love Ms. Hannah's ability to tell a story. Ive read several of her books and have enjoyed them . Also Julia Whelan is probably my favorite narrator. Ive picked audio books I was on the fence about just because she was the narrator. (In the mens category, RC Bray) Anyhow, if you are on the fence about reading this, give it a go, You wont regret it. I rarely write reviews, just rate books , but I was compelled by this one.

The plot was creative, the characters likeable, the magic was fun. I enjoyed the romance but like most romances in stories, the reluctance and the time it took to get resolved seemed to take overly long. I did like how it ended but it seemed like it wrapped up super fast. Overall I enjoyed this book and would read a sequel. I will check to see if there is one.

This is my new favorite book! As a horse owner, I have had dreams of setting off on horseback to explore, but it would be unsafe and impossible now. I have so much admiration for the gumption of this woman! I wouldve just loved to have met her!!
Narrator does an amazing job, shes one Ive listened to before and liked very much. This book is worth the credit or price!

Liked this story even more than A Gentleman in Moscow. No spoilers, redemption flows strong, likeable characters, clips along well.
Couldn't go wrong with Edoardo Ballerini! I picked up this story on Audible without seeing who the narrator is, and when I started it playing and it said who it was, Im glad I was alone in my truck because I think I actually did a fist pump and blurted out a "oh hell ya!" Hes so good that I might grab books just because hes narrating, without knowing anything about the story.
