Resumen del Editor

When Jonell McLain saw the diamond necklace in the store window, it aroused first desire, then a provocative question: Why are personal luxuries so plentiful, yet accessible to so few? What if we shared what we desired? A dozen phone calls and a leap of faith later, Jonell bought the necklace with 12 other women, with the goal of sharing it.

With vastly dissimilar histories and lives, the women show us how they transcended their individual personalities and politics to join together in an uncommon journey. What started as a quirky social experiment became something far richer and deeper, as the women transformed a symbol of exclusivity into a symbol of inclusiveness. Soon, sharing the necklace among themselves proved to be the beginning of a profound journey of possibility that would touch the lives of a community.

interesting to raise money for homeless

This was a little haughty for my taste but fun to read.I have been in a group like these women but we mostly gave money. I will write that story.

This is an easy breezy read with colorful characters and a delightful ending. Human nature is celebrated and fairly sparkles throughout .

True Story That Reads Like Fiction

I enjoyed this book particularly because it is a true story. At first, I was skeptical when I thought it was fiction b/c I thought, “That (anecdote) would never happen. Then I researched it and learned it is true. That made it such a delightful story.

An excellent women's discussion.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Necklace to be better than the print version?

I completely enjoyed the audion edition. I am sure it "reads well too, but I loved the audio.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked one and then as I read on, I liked the next character. I think it showed the compassionate side of women.

What about Pam Ward’s performance did you like?

She had a tough task to voice so many different characters and I give her "props" for how well she did that.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Fantasy from the heart.

Just OK

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Read this book for book club and I have to say that it wasn't a very memorable story. That being said, the reading of it was done well.

A book for every Woman!

Every woman should read this book. The characters are rich in joy of life. They became a group of friends. I could not wait for the next introduction in friendship. The author skillfully weaves this invitational story of love. She is aware that love is one of the only feelings with internal fruition that supports the development of true care and personal mercy.
The audio performance was engaging and inspired the listeners active imagination.
