Suddenly

De: Barbara Delinsky

Narrado por: Carol Monda

In idyllic Tucker, Vermont, life moves lazily along for Paige Pfeiffer. When her best friend’s suicide shatters her complacency, however, Paige is sent reeling and her comfortable world is gone for good. As she struggles with her grief, she is also forced to care for the friend’s adopted baby daughter. Her only hope is that some sense of normalcy will return in time.



But with tragedy also comes unexpected joys. A blossoming romance with the head of a private school fills Paige’s faltering life with hope and offers her a love that she never thought possible. She explores how one can find meaning in life, even in the aftermath of death.



Barbara Delinsky turns her storytelling skills to this inspiring tale of loss, love, and growth. Listeners can relate as the everyday people in her stories work to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, while finding strength in family, friends, and new life and love.

Suddenly

Overall the story was very good. The narrator's imitation of the leading man's voice was off putting to me and detracted from my enjoyment of the book.

Great book

I love the NE setting and the author does grasp true life issues. Highly recommend

Not one of her best..

I have enjoyed the Barbara Delinsky books I have read but this one was so slow, so predictable. From the start the plot was thin and easy to anticipate what was going to happen. It left little to the imagination or anticipation as the book went along.

As for the reader, the delivery was awkward with very long, too long, pauses. Also, the reader had a very limited range of voices for the characters which made the book read more difficult to enjoy. Overall I just finished listening to be done with the book as the ending was totally predictable.

Could I recommend this book/reader? No on both counts.

Parent guide! (not romance)

This book may be a great parent guide and if you have young or teenage children you may find it useful, otherwise if you are looking for a romantic read look elsewhere! After several tries I was unable to reach mid-way and had to call it quits.

Great Book w/ perfect character development.

Loved it!!! Could put it down. Kept coming back to listen to more...
