Acerca de esta escucha

Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts.

What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.

By turns scintillating and philosophical, Room on the Sea is a compulsively listenable story of love, fate, and last chances.

Lo que los oyentes dicen sobre Room on the Sea

Con calificación alta para:

The Story Revolves Around A Chance Encounter Between Two Strangers, Paul And Catherine, Who Meet During Jury Duty And Form An Unexpected Connection Over Three Days Of Engaging Conversations. The Beautifully Written Prose And Witty Dialogue Capture Their Charming, Romantic Interactions And The Nostalgic Reminiscence Of Past Loves And Choices. While The Delightful Narrative And Heartwarming Tale Of A Late-life Romance Resonated With Many Readers, Some Felt The Subject Matter Of An Extramarital Affair Was Disheartening. Others Criticized The Lack Of Plot Substance, Unclear Character Voices At Times, And An Unsatisfying Or Weak Ending. Overall, The Story Explores Themes Of Love, Relationships, Possibilities, Morality, And The Bittersweet Nostalgia Of What Could Have Been.

Sweet. Touching. Relatable.

Something about this story struck a chord with me. Maybe because I’m at a certain age where I long for an experience such as this. I want to know what happens next…

Worth the Read

A lovely story of imaginary thinking. Jeff Daniel's gentle voice sweetens each line taking away the need for more.

Excellent !

The story is wonderful and I want to know more about these people! They were so real, intelligent and interesting. Jeff Daniels was perfect. I hate it when a man tries to ‘read’ in a female voice. He didn’t do that and it was much more enjoyable to listen to. Bravo!

Very wordy

There is a nice romance buried beneath mountains of rambling dialogue. Good narration, although no attempt made to differentiate male/female character voices.

Short and entertaining read

This book was good but I left wanting more from the author. Enjoyed the narration by Jeff Daniels.
Good beach read, train ride, or just relaxing read when you have 2 hours to kill.

Outstanding

Beautifully written and performed in such a low key way, the narrator never intruding. Perfect approach. Loved every minute.

Little choices to make the leap

The story was well written and performed. All the small choices we make every day, leads to the leap of infidelity. This was personally insightful, as my father was a “cheater” and I never really understood the appeal. Now I know an accumulation of intentional actions, allow for the leap. Enjoy!

Nice Story but

This was a nice story but Jeff Daniels voice was like nails on a chalk board.
