Story
Alice Pendelbury believes everything in her life is pretty much in order - from her good friends to her burgeoning career. But even Alice has to admit it’s been an odd week. Not only has her belligerent neighbor, Mr. Daldry, suddenly become a surprisingly agreeable confidant, but he’s encouraging her to take seriously the fortune-teller who told her that only by traveling to Turkey can Alice meet the most important person in her life. What’s more, the peculiarly insistent Mr. Daldry has even agreed to finance Alice’s trip - one that against all reason seems to be predestined.

Now, seventy years later, the pledge is being fulfilled by American missionary Pastor Billy, brash gunner’s mate Ian Ferguson, and local soldier Liu Zhaohu. All that’s missing is Ah Yan - also known as Swallow.

Story
On a leafy suburban street in Dublin, beautiful, poised Stella Greene lives with her successful husband, Matt. They're the perfect couple in every way, and Stella appears to have it all. Next door, at number 72, however, lives Rea Brady. Gruff, bad tempered and rarely seen besides the twitching of her net curtains, rumour has it she's lost it all...including her marbles, if you believe the neighbourhood gossip. But appearances can be deceiving, and when Stella and Rea's worlds collide they realise they have much in common.

Story
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

Slow to get going
I struggled to stay with the book in the first half, because it was so slow to get to the story. The narrator's voice was too dramatic, so it reminded me of teenage drama.

Tear-jerker
I was glued to the story. Couldn't put it down. Makes one appreciate life a little more and look at life a little differently. Would highly recommend.

Hard to listen too
I did not enjoy the narration. There was just way too much angst constantly in the narrators voice. Made it very unenjoyable to listen to. I also don’t understand the need to overenunciate. The story was just OK. Somewhat predictable. Didn’t always keep my attention.

Colorful
Noa Walker created a wonderfully descriptive work that with the narration of Lauren Razor and the translation of Lisa Reinhardt kept us fully engaged. Even my young grandson enjoyed the descriptions that painted vivid pictures in our minds. Definitely worth every minute.

Extraordinary!
I can not imagine anyone reading this book, and not experiencing the wide spectrum of emotions, known as life. I laughed, cried, got angry, felt joy, wonder, confusion, elation, hope, hope, love and fascination, disappointment and even rolled my eyes, a time or two. This is a special slice of a life well lived, and one woman setting out; an achieving her goals in life. She desired to live life with almost reckless abandon. She made a difference, in so many lives, not just those of her family. I would recommend that everyone read this book, most especially young adults, anyone struggling with lifes trails. I am so pleased that I was curious to read this heartwarming story.

Very visual descriptions & enjoyable characters- caveat
I really enjoyed the characters & story and the performance. I liked how the author’s descriptions of the landscape were so details & easy to imagine.
This may not be for you if you have cancer in your family, as I do. If I had known, I wouldn’t have listened right now & almost didn’t finish.
