High October

De: Elena Graf

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Liz Stolz and Maggie Fitzgerald were college roommates until Maggie confessed to her parents that she’d fallen in love with a woman. Maggie gave up her dream of becoming an actress and married her high school boyfriend. Liz became a famous breast surgeon. Maggie is performing in a summer stock production near the Maine town where Liz is now a general practitioner. When Maggie breaks her leg in a stage accident, she lands in Dr. Stolz’s office. Is forty years too long to wait for the one you love?

"Sometimes gentle and sensual, sometimes tense and tinged with sadness, this is a book that provided a real emotional workout. ‘High October’ is an acutely observed study of mature love, and the mechanisms we employ to cope with traumatic events. Delivered with such empathy, I found it easy to lose myself in Maggie and Liz’s story. Wonderful reading!" -The Reading Room

Loved it except for...

I loved the story except for the narration. it's a nice, simple story that held my attention.

Surprised that virtual voice was good

Good for virtual voice. Most are not very good in my opinion. And this had a nice story and not just sex.

Engaging first novel captures an amazing love story 40 years delayed

Intriguing story in which college girlfriends, torn apart by family prejudices and religious hatred, stumble upon one another in a charming village in coastal Maine. Finally their long postponed love is charmingly rekindled. The first in an engaging ten-novel series not to be missed.
