From beloved author Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller about shattering loss and shocking discovery - set in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains...

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project - fueling rumors that the site is cursed. She must cope with the presence of her irritating - but irresistible - ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well...

Loved the story, but the narrator drove me crazy. The pauses and character mix ups were bad.

Fast pace, easy to get into and good enough to not quit! Lots of characters to choose from tho You Never Know until the very end! B.Quigley was not as easy or fluid. Often felt pressured

Definitely WHO Done It??

I enjoyed this book so much mostly because of beautiful love between Jake and Callie. The only thing I’d like for the end to include more of relationship between Callie and her birth parents, some little exchange even short to show her relationship with them was growing strong. All in all a great book

What made the experience of listening to Birthright the most enjoyable?

I was totally wrapped up in this book. The story grabbed my attention right from the beginning. Nora Roberts characters come alive for me. She's my favorite novelist for developing her characters.

What did you like best about this story?

Nora Roberts does her homework. I felt a couple of her books had more detail than feeling but this book was a perfect balance, and very believable. I actually cried at the end. I don't usually do that.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were a few scenes that were my favorites. I loved the letters that Suzanne wrote to Jessie, her missing daughter. They were right from the heart and read very well. I also loved the scene when Callie was playing the theme from Jaws to irritate her ex.

I'm not sure why others are so down on the narrators, I thought she was fine, even better than most honestly. the storyline of this NR book is just so interesting and different it has always been one of my favorites. I just listened to it for the first time since I read it 15+ years ago and it still is one of my favorites! if you like mystery and unique characters with a few sweet love stories intertwined this is perfect!

still one of my favorites!

I love the way Nora pulls you into her stories so you have to cover to cover or listen to the end without pause.

male voices were a little too forced but characters were distinguished well with voice changes. Nora always keeps you on your toes.
