Miracle

I enjoyed this book so much. Once I got over the shrill voice of the leading character, I found myself able to settle into it. I just wish the leading voice was softer. This held my interest throughout.

A little too long, the author could have edited some of the material out, it reminded me of a Danielle Steele saga. Narrator was very good and all in all it was a worthwhile listen.

In the middle

A true romance- after many obstacles and heartaches the couple end up together

In the book the female lead has a very distinctive voice. The performer was being true to the story but I found the character's voice annoying. The read would have been more enjoyable if she had toned it down some.

it has some heartaches in it

Better narration. Could not get into the story because the screeching voice of the lead character was too overwhelming. I could not get beyond first hour

Less screeching

Good details in the write up. It sold me even though I had never heard of this author

Although the primary protagonist has a very unusual voice, it is a part of her that becomes important in the story arc. I understand other readers have had a hard time getting beyond Amy Miracle's "screeching voice", however in order for the narrator to make we listeners understand all the issues that come with having an unusual voice, the narrator has to read Amy's part with her high pitched voice. And it does get better as the story moves along and Amy gets older.

Deanna Moffitt does an excellent job of narrating both Amy and Sebastian, both have unique accents and Moffitt imitates french very well. Of course I don't speak French so I may be far off when it comes to how it really sounds.

The plot is not particularly fresh-young girl meets older employer, employer becomes attracted to the young girl and agrees to pay for her college education, then realizes the relationship isn't appropriate and goes to Africa to work with Doctors without Borders for 2 years. She goes to college and changes her major half way thru to Radio/TV broadcasting where her future really picks up.

10 years go by and they meet again, She is becoming a star and he is having difficulty with his profession. And on and on. It's well read however and a totally enjoyable listen.

I like Deborah Smiths work and this was another of her novels that are charmers.

The 'screeching voice" does not continue through out the whole book-Moffitt tones it downs she reads. It took me about 90 minutes, when Amy was a silly young girl, that it was the most annoying...after that, I really liked the book.

Totally a romance-chick lit title.
