Leave Me

De: Gayle Forman

Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

For every woman who has ever fantasized about driving past her exit on the highway instead of going home to make dinner, for every woman who has ever dreamed of boarding a train to a place where no one needs constant attention - meet Maribeth Klein, a harried working mother who's so busy taking care of her husband and twins, she doesn't even realize she's had a heart attack.

Afterward, surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable: She packs a bag and leaves. But, as is so often the case, once she gets to where she's going, she sees her life from a different perspective. Far from the demands of family and career, and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is finally able to own up to secrets she has been keeping from those she loves - and from herself.

With big-hearted characters who stumble and trip, grow and forgive, Leave Me is about facing our fears. Gayle Forman, a dazzling observer of human nature, has written an irresistible novel that confronts the ambivalence of modern motherhood head-on.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Eva Kaminsky's narration is at once uniquely emotional and quietly familiar.... Each character in this novel has his or her own voice, thanks to Kaminsky's skill. Personalities emerge with nuances of timbre and tone.... Listeners will be reluctant to leave." ( AudioFile)

Wonderful

Beautifully written and perfectly read. I was completely engaged beginning to end. I loved it.

A walking in almost every woman shoes.

I thought it was a great read that depicted and moms everyday struggle in life with relationships friends, work, children, husband and trying to balance life. Everyone can identify with that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. The Journey of the character trying to find her identity was very relatable. Great read

Heart attack causes self absorbed regression!

Unlike some of the reviews, I finished the whole thing. It only got worse. Parenthood's middle name is sacrifice, which Mary Beth seemed to forget. I can understand burnout, but this was irritating, not sympathy inducing. The ending was rushed. Just take a pass. Go find a better book.

Lacking

I liked the narrator and found elements of the story interesting/ relatable. But overall I struggled to accept how one- dimensional the characters were and how unlikely a devoted mom would be to leave her two children. The ending was absolutely unsatisfying.

Leave Me.

Great book. The too frequent notifications of the complete identity and address of electronic messaging was disruptive to to a good read. Frankly, annoying.
