About this listen

Eleanor Murray will always remember her childhood on Edisto Island, where her late father, a local shrimper, shared her passion for music. Now her memories of him are all that tempers the guilt she feels over the accident that put her sister in a wheelchair and the feelings she harbors for her sister's husband.

To help support her sister, Eleanor works at a Charleston investment firm during the day, but she escapes into her music, playing piano at a neighborhood bar. Until the night her enigmatic boss walks in and offers her a part-time job caring for his elderly aunt, Helena, back on Edisto. For Eleanor, it's a chance to revisit the place where she was her happiest and to share her love of music with grieving Helena, whose sister recently died under mysterious circumstances.

An island lush with sweetgrass and salt marshes, Edisto has been a peaceful refuge for Helena, who escaped with her sister from war-torn Hungary in 1944. The sisters were well-known on the island, where they volunteered in their church and community. But now Eleanor will finally learn the truth about their past: secrets that will help heal her relationship with her own sister and set Eleanor free....

Excellent book

If you could sum up The Time Between in three words, what would they be?

This book has been lesson in life about relationships in sisters,in one self and other. It is also about love hope and about what past secrets can do in your life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Time Between?

When Helana revels hers past to Elenor. The forgiveness that there is in the book

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

great character and narration in the book felt that you where there part of them.

I am overwhelmed every time i read a Karen White novel. Her eloquence draws me into the life of each character. I wish i had her words to sufficiently describe how i feel about her writing. I am blown away.

Great Story

This is one of the best books I've heard in a long time. I caught myself laughing out loud and wanting to cry at times listening to the story. The relationship and the dynamic between the women in the story is absolutely wonderful. It is one of the few books I had hoped but go on and on.

truly enjoyed

Would you listen to The Time Between again? Why?

I don't tend to relisten... but the narrators in this story made it so realistic.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Aunt Helena... so much to learn about her.

Who was the most memorable character of The Time Between and why?

Aunt Helena... her story was amazing.

Any additional comments?

This book was terrifically narrated. And the storyline is not as predictable as one might think.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because a few of the storylines were rather quickly "cured", but the main storyline was well developed and had some surprised. A very enjoyable listen.
