Story5 out of 5 stars 885
It is 1943, and for four years, 16-year-old Stefania has been working for the Diamant family in their grocery store in Przemsyl, Poland, singing her way into their lives and hearts. She has even made a promise to one of their sons, Izio - a betrothal they must keep secret since she is Catholic and the Diamants are Jewish.

Read it don’t listen to it.

The story is interesting enough but the reader is terrible and hard to listen to. It’s like she is just learning to read English. It is stiff and her inflection is off. Awful. She should have been auditioned to read and then passed over. The reader can make or break a story for the listener.

Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled—the unhappiest age you can be, according to the Guardian. And today she’s really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away. Grace sets off across London, armed with a £200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she’ll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again

It took awhile to get into. It gets really good about half way through. If you are grieving it may be a difficult book for you. It’s a book about how grief can really mess you up! See a counselor and get medication if needed. Talk it out!

Loved it! Belle was a strong smart woman fighting for a life, happiness, and for her family. I enjoyed learning about J P Morgan and the early 1900s.
It’s interesting that authors wrote during the COVID pandemic, but didn’t mention anything about the Spanish flu of 1918 in the book.

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Crushing reality
Reviewed: 11-23-22
I have listened and read this amazing story. Ten stars! The guy who reads this IS Demon. He is perfection in his performance. He makes the story come alive. Bravo. This heartbreaking story reminds me, as a volunteer in inner city school and growing up in rural AR, that DHS is still not working and we must do better by these kids. There needs to be a constant “War on Drugs”. Have you seen the movie “Pain Killer”? Here we still are. Lord have mercy.

The reading was awful.
I can’t believe James Patterson had anything to do with the writing of this book.
