A lovely story with a superb narrative. M. O’Farrell has this ability of depicting the whole scene, the movements, reactions, and environment in a delicious way.

Amé la historia de Esmeralda y su turco narrada por ella misma. En la descripción de la vida con su familia que va dejando atrás va llenando las páginas de nostalgia. Esa nostalgia que, cuando la conoces, sabes a qué huele y cómo suena.
Su larga aventura con el turco nos va enseñando etapas y crecimientos con los que cualquiera se puede identificar.
Muy recomendable.

Very good stories, except for the balcony part, very well written, and easy to relate to the characters. The problem, for me, was the over achieving histrionism of M Zapata. Trying that hard to be funny is often counterproductive.

Story
Avery Mason, host of American Events, knows the subjects that grab a TV audience’s attention. Her latest story - a murder mystery laced with kinky sex, tragedy, and betrayal - is guaranteed to be ratings gold. New DNA technology has allowed the New York medical examiner’s office to make its first successful identification of a 9/11 victim in years. The twist: The victim, Victoria Ford, had been accused of the gruesome murder of her married lover. In a chilling last phone call to her sister, Victoria begged her to prove her innocence.

The story could’ve been good, but falling into the cliché, or better say, the clichés of all thrillers is disappointing.
The characters are relatable, and the narrative enjoyable, the problem was the resolution.

En este magnífico audiolibro se narran los duros comienzos de una familia emigrante irlandesa, vista a través de un niño. Por ello, el oyente se encontrará con grandes dosis de humor y compasión transmitidos a través de su autor, Frank McCourt. Es una extraordinaria obra donde McCourt nos muestra el amor, la dignidad y el humor de una infancia marcada por el hambre, la muerte y el dolor.

Florencia, mediados del siglo XVI. Lucrezia, tercera hija del gran duque Cosimo de' Medici, es una niña callada y perspicaz, con un singular talento para el dibujo, que disfruta de su discreto y tranquilo lugar en el palazzo. Pero cuando muere su hermana Maria, justo antes de casarse con Alfonso d'Este, primogénito del duque de Ferrara, Lucrezia se convierte inesperadamente en el centro de atención: el duque se apresura a pedir su mano, y su padre a aceptarla. Poco después, con solo quince años, se traslada a la corte de Ferrara, donde es recibida con recelo.

Story
Imagine living with a fear so visceral each day that simply walking down the street draws terror to one’s core. That’s the best case scenario for a woman on the streets of Juárez, Mexico. Kate del Castillo (La Reina del Sur) delivers a stunning one-woman performance that transports listeners from a New York stage to the treacherous streets of Juárez, Mexico, where thousands of women have been murdered in an ongoing epidemic of violence.

Cautivante historia
- By Byron R. on 02-24-25
Bueno pero desagradable
Reviewed: 08-25-24
La historia es buena, entretenida y bien escrita, pero las situaciones descritas, con más detalles de lo que yo puedo disfrutar, son sumamente desagradables. Sí te engancha en la investigación, sí quieres saber el final, sí logra que te involucres en la historia, sin embargo es la historia misma lo que da horror.
