About this listen
The piece recounts an eerie Irish fairy tale her mother used to tell her at bedtime - and nestled inside is the sad story of her mother's death, a strange, untimely end in a fire 30 years ago.
When Iris returns to the remote Hotel Equinox in the Catskills, the place where she grew up, to write her mother's biography and search for her mother's missing manuscript, she unravels a haunting mystery that threatens to envelope her.

Story
Rose Asher can't shake the feeling: Robin Weiss, a talented and ambitious student, definitely reminds her of Bruno Brunelli, the man Rose came to love years ago during a semester in the Italian countryside. But soon Robin dies under mysterious circumstances and in a farewell letter directs his teacher to a library archive in Florence. Returning to the rustic Italian villa where she first met Bruno, Rose finds herself enmeshed in a web of secrets and scandal: a folio containing what some believe are lost sonnets by Shakespeare has mysteriously vanished.

Story
Alice gets off a bus in the middle of a snowstorm in Delphi, NY. She is fleeing an abusive relationship and desperate to protect Oren, 10 years old, a major Star Wars fan and wise beyond his years. Though Alice is wary, Oren bonds nearly instantly with Mattie, a social worker in her 50s who lives in an enormous, rundown house in the middle of the woods. According to protocol, Mattie should take Alice and Oren to a local shelter; instead, she brings them home for the night. What she doesn't say is that Oren reminds her of her little brother, who died 30 years ago at the age of 10.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Unpredictable, engaging and characters that are realistic and easy to become fond of. It also tells a few stories within the story. I’ll add this to my short list of favorites. Definitely looking forward to seeing more from Carol Goodman.
Beautifully written
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrator did an excellent job and I'm going to listen to more from her! She did great with all the accents and being able to decipher which character is talking is important for books that you listen to.
The story though, has so much filler that sometimes I forget what they're talking about. There are a lot of points I actually skipped through because it did nothing for the story as a whole, which is a shame because like I said, I love filler. I'm about 2/3 through the book and I still don't even know what the point is or what the plot is. I don't even know is she's still a teacher or not.
I did like how detailed everything was, but I feel like if the author stuck to the story a bit more without getting completely lost in side stuff, it would be a bit more engaging. Still a good listen for a book you don't really want to get too attached to.
