Listening to this story is like wearing your favorite slippers and jammies. You walk comfortably through the rooms of the house with Ann Patchett who weaves a loving story across generations using the house as the main prop and told from the point of view of the families young son who grows up there. Tom Hanks is the PERFECT voice to tell this story. As I got captured by the story it became a page turner of a listen just like an afternoon cup of tea and warm fireplace hold you captive all afternoon too

Listen with your older kids. Good to know info. Not too technical and easy to remember. Did u know that in one plane crash those who survived 7 only had all looked at the plane info in the sear pocket?

Those readers who like non fiction and or mysteries, will enjoy the lost girls of Paris. It is set during WW II and rings true to there way women were treated at the time and holds the readers attention throughout. I enjoyed it.

Having lived and worked in Miami in the early 80's this story rings true as it captures the tension between those who left Cuba and those who stayed woven across 3 generations of a family. The book is an enjoyable read and rings true in place, time, and characterizations. It provides a glimpse of the politics involved. A fun fictional start to deeper reading.......or not.

A family history saga, with beautiful description of place and life as it was in Kenya. I enjoyed it because Nairobi and the parks I visited: Ambrosseli, Ole Prejeta, and Masaii Mara near Sand River all feature in the book. So it was fun to have seen the locations described. I think it was actually better that I read it right after I returned as the locations were much more familiar to me.

Focus: Monet's relationships not life's work

Fun read. Very personal account of his relationships with family and especially his first wife. Reads easily. Excellent for those who like the personal focus. Does touch on his painting, painting difficulties, and painting friends. If you are looking to familiarize yourself with the relationship with friends and family, the place and the painter this is the book for you. If you want a more scholarly study of Monet's struggles and work, look elsewhere.
