The Lost Wife

A Novel

By: Alyson Richman

Narrated by: George Guidall, Suzanne Toren

In pre-war Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, there's an inescapable glance of recognition between two strangers. Providence is giving Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength of memory.

Couldn't stop listening. Finished in two days !

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lost Wife to be better than the print version?

The audio version is FAR superior to the book and who has time to snuggle up alone with a book? I drove and handled my busy life and enjoyed this book all at the same time.

Best audio book I've heard yet.

Haunting, beautiful, and wonderfully read. Don't miss this one. The kind of audio book that has you walking your dog in the dark just so you can keep listening!

Great Read!

I don't typically write reviews and I must say I very much enjoyed this book. I enjoyed learning about places I have never heard of and I loved the story of the two main characters. However, my one upset of this story is it opens with bait, you want to read to the end so you can finally see what happens and then when you get there, you learn about them both, it just ends. You get no closure and maybe I should just use my imagination but to be so hopeful for so much more for it to just end, that was disappointing for me anyways. With that said, I still suggest this book as a must read.

I could not stop listening

Story is based on actual people and experiences. I listened to the whole book in two days. So sad and yet so honest in demonstrating the intricacies of human interactions and the outcomes of beliefs and decisions...

Heartbreakingly beautiful

A powerful story of love & family, and loss. Keep the tissues handy because you'll be crying the whole way through.

Unquensionable spirit

This book will be forever with my mind. It has answered and opened many questions about the treatment of the Jewish people for me. I have been interested in what occurred in the camps and also opened other questions in my studies about this unfortunate part of the history of that time period. Thank You.

Wonderful narration

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and there was not one dull moment. Great narration; the accents and feelings where excelent.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book couldn't wait to see what happens at the end very week written

Historic, yet romantic too

Loved this story. It was so well read as well, hard to take time for errands, as I wanted to go on a road trip just so I could continue listening w/out interruption!

This. Book. Was. AMAZING.

It started of slow, but I was hooked by the end of the first chapter.
