When Catherine learns that she is dying, she remembers the words her husband once jokingly uttered and decides to leave him the ultimate posthumous gift: a time capsule containing photographs of their life together along with tape recordings in which she recounts every secret she ever kept, every unspoken thought whether loving or treacherous - the things they never said.

Catherine's recordings shake up many of Sean's beliefs, sometimes enraging him and other times soothing with memories of the many joys that make up a life together. But even as the tapes provide an emotional roller coaster of surprises, Sean prays that they'll confirm the one thing he always secretly believed but never dared say out loud: that destiny exists; that their life together was not the result of mere chance.

So many emotions and such a wonderful narration. I could recognize the various characters. What a great concept.

Excellent

This performance was perfection, first off let me say that right away. Ms. Church couldn’t have done a better job, and this novel I gather wasn’t the easiest to narrate. Lots of dialogue, feelings, and discoveries throughout that she crushed just perfectly. If ever there was a case where an author absolutely loves what a narrator has done with their book I would say this is def one!
This was a beautiful book. Just what I was hoping for with a few twists and turns even. The only negative I can think of is I wish there was more! Honestly...the “time” this couple spent together(thru the recapping)just wasn’t enough for me! I wished for more. I wished there was more talk about them to go along with all the different issues they dealt with over the years. I wanted to hear more of their everyday goings-on, happy days of their early memories looked back on with longing, and just a bit more “meat” on the bone. I think it would have only added to how invested I already was in all the characters. It was great. Really puts you in a place of remembering your own marriage, the ups and downs, and everything that makes up a life together. Looking forward to checking into more from Nick Alexander. Great job all-round here. Don’t hesitate to read!

I liked the concept of this book very much. Very original. I can see this being very true to life.

Enjoyable listen and beautifully narrated. Occasionally humorous, occasionally painful, a quirky approach to a story of marriage, family, life and death. Recommended.

Unusual perspective...

I had high expectations picking out and reading this book based on good reviews. Must be me because I didn't think I was going to finish it. Every chapter was so boring and the wife every beginning of tape was that monotone voice Hi Shaun.......dragged out.

Will never get back these 11 hours I listened to. Save your credits on this one.

Wow! Thought this one had promise . . . but when they started talking about their deceased loved one not believing in an after life . . . then confirmed that neither did they . . . well, this one is not for me. 😥
