Reseñas de la Crítica

“Carr offers a well-written, warm-hearted story and a genuinely fun read.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Worth the read. Terrible narration.

The book was quite lovely. It was inspirational and reflective. Not a must read, but a "worth the read." However, the narration was awful. If she would have just stuck to one or two characters that would have been great, but the way she tried to do so many different characters was just too much. She failed miserably. Again, the book is a good "chick book" though. :-) I would recommend it. Just don't expect much from the narrator.

enjoyed the read

This book reminded me of a slow Sunday afternoon spent with seniors sharing memories of days long past and lives well lived. A perfect day for me, but may be a bit slow for some

Very enjoyable, interesting and inspiring

I enjoyed hearing the diverse backgrounds and accompanying problems of the women in this novel. It's always good to learn that we all have problems even if they don't show to most people who see us everyday. It was interesting to learn how they worked through and continued to work through their particular problems. It was also interesting to delve into the background of one particular character that while intelligent and talented, was willing to withstand on-going abuse- always perplexing behavior to people on the outside. Other backgrounds of these women also interested me, such as alcohol and abuse and poverty and how they felt, how it affected their lives and how they got through it. Many more women interesting characters and issues- too many to include here! Well written and interesting enough to keep me coming back until I finished. Thanks- to the author and Audible!

Thank you

I enjoy this authors books but this one hit all the right spots.
The women’s ages, their histories, their stories.
Thank you

Touching end

It was a hard book to listen to a bit slow to start. But, the ending was sweet, heartwarming and unpredictable. There were times I had to repeat chapters as I missed part of the story, I am glad I did not give up on this based on the ending.
