Critic reviews

"... possibly the best new writer in this subgenre." ( Library Journal)

What listeners say about From a Distance

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook's Story Is Widely Praised For Its Captivating Storyline, Complex And Well-developed Characters, Accurate Historical Details, And Redemptive Themes Exploring Love, Forgiveness, And Faith. The Vivid Descriptions Transport Listeners To The Rugged Colorado Territory Setting. While Most Reviewers Enjoyed The Overall Narrative, Some Felt A Central Plotline Was Left Unresolved, And The Religious/spiritual Elements Were Too Prominent For Their Tastes. Nonetheless, The Book's Ability To Weave An Engrossing Tale Of Human Struggles, Relationships, And Personal Growth Against A Richly Depicted Historical Backdrop Resonated Strongly With Many Listeners.

I Loved it! So worth the time getting to know these characters, history and places. I can hardly wait to read the next book in the series. The reader did an excellent job as well. ❤️😊

Amazing historical accuracy-tying the North and the South after the Civil War.

Narration and characters stood out as brave participants in forming the Rocky Mountain West preservation.

Excellent narration, truly authentic Southern accents!

Listening to this excellent novel by Tamara Alexander was greatly enhanced by the beautiful narration. Any of these men speaking could have been my brothers or cousins. It was not mocking or condescending. I have never read a book by this author that did not touch me in some way. The way she portrays Faith, the characters relationship with God is realistic. This one was a free selection from Audible plus but I am going to buy it to enjoy again.
