Resumen del Editor

Prize-winning author Lily King’s masterful new novel spans three decades of a volatile relationship between a charismatic, alcoholic father and the daughter who loves him. Gardiner Amory is a New England WASP who's beginning to feel the cracks in his empire. Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him, and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated. His daughter, Daley, has spent the first 11 years of her life negotiating her parents’ conflicting worlds: the liberal, socially committed realm of her mother and the conservative, decadent, liquor-soaked life of her father. But when they divorce, and Gardiner’s basest impulses are unleashed, the chasm quickly widens, and Daley is stretched thinly across it. As she reaches adulthood, Daley rejects the narrow world that nourished her father’s fears and prejudices and embarks on her own separate life until he hits rock bottom. Lured home by the dream of getting her father sober, Daley risks everything she's found beyond him, including her new love, Jonathan, in an attempt to repair a trust broken years ago. A provocative story of one woman's lifelong loyalty to her father, Father of the Rain is a spellbinding journey into the emotional complexities and magnetic pull of family.

I am so glad I chose this book!

I don’t usually comment beyond the stars but I really appreciate the writing style, the characters, and the storyline. It spoke to my heart and life on so many levels. Every now then I find a book and listening experience I enjoy so much That at the end I know I will listen to it again sometime…this is one of them.

Outstandingly Real, Wonderful & Painful

This candid, heartbreakingly beautiful book is a triumph. It moved me in so many ways. I couldn’t stop listening.

This was hard to listen to…..

But well worth it. It was my childhood. My life. My pain and desire to actually have a father’s love.

Engaging

A lovely story about an unfortunate set of circumstances that happens often in dysfunctional relationships. Hardheadedness, codependent behavior and tough decisions. But love and dedication win.

It stirs your emotions.

This story is told from a perspective I couldn't quite relate to. It made me angry how she wouldn't save herself. She was so passive and that bothered me A LOT. No victim I is sort of my motto so maybe it just wasn't a good fit for me personally.

Enjoyable for the most part.

For the most part, I enjoyed the book. I could really get into the actual characters and even hope for certain outcomes. However, the only part that was an extreme turn off for me was all the "taking the Lord's name in vain". I honestly don't think so much of that was necessary.

Superb!

I loved listening to this story. It's the kind of relationship so many people go through with parents and there were so many elements I could relate to. A real gem!

Great book

I wish it never end. What a roller coaster. I love the narrator. Must listen.

The most boring story ever

Nothing happens through the entire book, the most boring story I listened to so far.

Rare gem about love

I rarely write reviews let alone click how many stars they should get.

This story was so beautifully written and the emotions could be felt. Perhaps some shared experiences is what makes it so meaningful but I believe the story in its simplicity could be enjoyed by many. It is a story that will stick with me.
