Faye, Faraway

De: Helen Fisher

Narrado por: Sophie Roberts

Heartfelt and irresistible—“a lovely, deeply moving story of loss and love and memory made real” (Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author)—this enchanting debut follows a woman who travels back in time to be reunited with the mother she lost when she was a child.

Every night, as Faye puts her daughters to bed, she thinks of her own mother, Jeanie, who died when Faye was eight. The pain of that loss has never left her, and that’s why she wants her own girls to know how very much they are loved by her—and always will be, whatever happens.

Then one day, Faye gets her heart’s desire when she’s whisked back into the past and is reunited not just with her mother but with her own younger self.

Jeanie doesn’t recognize grown-up Faye as her daughter, even though there is something eerily familiar about her. But the two women become close friends and share all kinds of secrets—except for the deepest secret of all, the secret of who Faye really is. Faye worries that telling the truth may prevent her from being able to return to the present day, to her dear husband and beloved daughters. Eventually she’ll have to choose between those she loved in the past and those she loves in the here and now, and that knowledge presents her with an impossible choice.

If only she didn’t have to make it....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In a British accent and friendly tone, narrator Sophie Roberts portrays Faye, who speaks directly to the listener as she chronicles her story of time travel. Faye is a happily married 30-something with two young daughters when a fall through an old box sends her back to the 1970s. There she meets her younger self and her mother, who died when she was 8 years old. Roberts's conversational tone is appropriate to the novel's first-person point of view."

Perfect Time Travel story.

Loved it!! Kept me guessing til the end! maybe sister recommended it and it did not dissapoint.

Would've been great if it hadn't involved romance.

I would give this book five stars if it hadn't included the relationship with the main characters husband. Ugh. I couldn't see past how perfect her partner was. Like be frfr. It's not a realistic marriage. Idk it just got on my nerves. If you can suspend disbelief during the interactions with her spouse, then the book is perfect.

different

I did like this story, but if you are very into time travel type stories go in without any previous expectations. Just go in fresh and take it at value. The narrator wasn't my favorite but didn't bother me enough to not continue.

Best book I have ever read, or listened to

I absolutely adored this book! I sincerely hope the author writes a sequel or writes another book. I will definitely be watching and waiting.

I lost much sleep because I couldn’t bear to stop

This is a a charming book that draws you in pretty quickly. You must get this one!
