Publisher's summary
From the first day that polar opposite friends Lucy and Cassie meet at prep school, they are inseparable through Vietnam and Civil Rights marches to falling in love for the first time. Lucy emerges from the turmoil engaged to the crown prince of Patan, poised to become the Princess of Paradise, while Cassie marries Lucy's college flame, David, and struggles to balance married and working life.
When David rises to fame as a rock star, Cassie's whole world shifts dramatically while, in the Himalayas, Lucy slips into the rhythm of a lifestyle that hasn't changed in centuries. That is, until she realizes that her gilt palace is no better than a prison - complete with guards. For both, escape is the only answer, but nothing comes without a price.

El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of General Raphael Leonidas Trujillo's dictatorship.

Growing up in a small fishing village in 1980s Iran, 11-year-old Saba Hafezi and her twin sister, Mahtab, are fascinated by America. They keep lists of English vocabulary words and collect contraband copies of Life magazine and Beatles cassettes. So when Saba suddenly finds herself abandoned, alone with her father in Iran, she is certain that her mother and sister have moved to America without her. Bereft, she aches for their company, and for the Western life she believes she is being denied. All her life she had been taught that "fate is in the blood", which must mean that twins will live the same life, even if separated by land and sea.

Editorial reviews
Lucy is short, blonde, radiates energy, and seems ever-organized; Cassie is tall, skinny, has curly black hair, gives off a sense of melancholy, and, although a botanist, is guided (like an artist) more by hunches than science. With warm tones and distinct characterizations, Piper Goodeve performs best-selling author, screenwriter, and poet Mary Mackey’s tale of much more than a friendship that begins with opposites not just attracting, but permanently bonding as prep school and Radcliffe roommates in the ‘60s. Three decades later they have been pulled apart by an abusive marriage in a picture-perfect setting, and a life on the run, but when Cassie is arrested, only Lucy can save her - assuming she is willing to risk her own life.

Story
One spring night in 1998, the beautiful Cressida Strauss plunges from a fourth-floor balcony at the Lycée Internationale Suisse with catastrophic consequences. Loath to draw negative publicity to the school, a bastion of European wealth and glamour, officials quickly dismiss the incident as an accident, but questions remain. Was it a suicide attempt? Or was Cressida pushed? It was no secret that she had a selfish streak and had earned as many enemies as allies in her tenure at the school.

Story
East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.

Disjointed but interesting
Where does Season of Shadows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the middle
Would you recommend Season of Shadows to your friends? Why or why not?
It was unsatisfactory on several levels. The description had the wrong friend marrying the rock star, so I was confused until the very end. There seemed to be a large section missing from the middle, or some poor editing. Some of the loose ends were tied up gratuitously
What about Piper Goodeve’s performance did you like?
everything
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
no, and that's the problem
Any additional comments?
I really wanted more from it by the time it wrapped up

one of the best things I have heard in ages
I bought the book by accident thinking it was by another writer. But to my surprise I loved it and will look for more book by her.

BORING
the book Is very boring , nothing unexpected and nothing remotely believable. I could barley finish, the performance was good but that was the only thing. I just kept thinking its got to get better, but I was wrong.

Disappointing my INACCURATE Summary!!
This is more of a warning than a spoiler alert: Cassie is never married to David! Aside from the book length, that twisted story plot was the only thing that piqued my interest about this book. I kept waiting for this to happen, but after 20 HOURS, with only 4 left to go, I realized it just wasn’t going to. And I was right. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is an intentional “error” on Audible’s part because, otherwise, the book isn’t very interesting.
