The first half of the book was good once you got past the weird pauses the narrator makes. The second half was too chopped up and impossible to follow.

Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

This book is so Grapes of Wrath. Nothing good happens to this family. I didn’t find the characters endearing. The nickname “Ant” of the little boy named Anthony grated my nerves so much that by the end of the book I just wanted the whole ordeal to be over. Kristen Hannah is an amazing author and the narrator does a great job. The things I didn’t like about this book I realize are personal likes/ dislikes and another listener may love the things I could not.

This book was very long. At times I thought “I wish it would go a little faster.” That being said, I was interested all the way through.
The level of historical research that went in to this is astounding.
The Narration is perfect. Narration can make or break a book. This narrator was on point.
If you enjoy historical fiction, you will not be disappointed with this book.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

This is a book of preachy pushiness disguised as a fictional novel. If you can get past that and a sniveling weak main character then this is your book.

In the autumn of 1558, church bells across England ring out the joyous news that Elizabeth I is the new queen. One woman hears the tidings with utter dread. Amy Dudley, wife of Sir Robert, knows that the bells she hears will summon her husband once more to power, intrigue, and a passionate love affair. Philippa Gregory paints a picture of a country on the brink of greatness, a young woman grasping at her power, a young man whose ambition is greater than his means, and the wife who cannot forgive them.

I love all things in this era and by this author. This particular book, however, won't be one of the ones I recommend. I found myself constantly checking to see if it would be over soon......"only ___ more hours to go". Never a good sign.

Loved it......but....
Reviewed: 04-04-19
This is very well written. The story is detailed, but not to the point of boredom, it's informative, it's everything you want it to be.....and then......the spit sounds. Thank goodness there are several readers. Only one of them has the spit noises or I would not have made it through this audio version. Just when I would get to my breaking point with it, the narrator would switch. I seriously do not understand how that gets through editing.
This is a lovely story, don't let that keep you from it, although you will want to poke the eyes out of the narrator before its done, you will be glad you listened.
