Historia
Sage Winters always knew her sister was a little different even though they were identical twins. They loved the same things and shared a deep understanding, but Rosemary—awake to every emotion, easily moved to joy or tears—seemed to need more protection from the world. Six years after Rosemary's death from pneumonia, Sage, now sixteen, still misses her deeply. Their mother perished in a car crash, and Sage's stepfather, Alan, resents being burdened by a responsibility he never wanted.

August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of - and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city - after all, she’s never been much of a reader.

With a disarming mix of charm and Tammany-hewn toughness, Rosenberg began her career in public relations in 1920s Manhattan. As FDR's unofficial adviser, Rosenberg soon wielded enormous influence—no less potent for being subtle. Her extraordinary career continued after his death. By 1950, she was tapped to become the assistant secretary of defense—the highest position ever held by a woman in the US military—prompting Senator Joe McCarthy to wage an unsuccessful smear campaign against her.

She's been too busy to even notice the small patch of pale skin on the back of her hand. Other than an occasional overindulgence in gin and champagne, which helps to numb the pain of recent tragedy, Mirielle is the picture of health. But her doctor insists on more tests, and Mirielle reluctantly agrees. The diagnosis - leprosy - is devastating and unthinkable.

It was a misty Wednesday morning. Inside the Gestapo headquarters, you could cut the tension with a knife. There was a traitor in their midst: Someone had leaked a list of the SS to the British press. The head of the Gestapo called me into his office. Panelled oak walls, a grand piano in the corner, rugs lining the floor—the place where he ordered executions every day.

Resumen del Editor
"Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bolz receives from her beloved Oma. But 17-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through music, books - and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for.
Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job - and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive - and finally, to speak out.
Set against the backdrop of the German homefront, this is an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake.

Twelve-year-old Ren doesn't know who his parents were. He doesn't know who left him at St. Anthony's orphanage, or how he lost his left hand when still an infant. He is resigned to life without a family to call his own and terrified of the future. But then a young man named Benjamin Nab appears, claiming to be Ren's long-lost brother, and his convincing tale of how Ren lost his hand and his parents is enough to persuade the monks at the orphanage to release the boy. But is Benjamin really who he says he is?

For eight weeks in 1945, as Berlin fell to the Russian army, a young woman kept a daily record of life in her apartment building and among its residents. The anonymous author depicts her fellow Berliners in all their humanity, as well as their cravenness, corrupted first by hunger and then by the Russians. A Woman in Berlin tells of the complex World War II relationship between civilians and an occupying army and the shameful indignities to which women in a conquered city are always subject—the mass rape suffered by all, regardless of age or infirmity.

Cleverly suspenseful and sweetly spoken, the storyteller's unassuming voice transforms an Appalachian trail of tears into holy terror against an evil that stalks the innocent. In The Whispering of the Willows, an Appalachian marriage practice might be compared to the modern sex trade which exploits young females. Not since Catherine Marshall's strong heroine named Christy, has an Appalachian drama come to life like The Whispering of the Willows.

Great story poor performance
What did you love best about The Plum Tree?
Beautifully written story
How could the performance have been better?
The narration was too fast - I kept checking the speed - seemed like it was on 1.5x. There could have been a lot more inflection- it is a gripping tale. Could have used a lot more differentiation between characters, male voices were generally poor
Any additional comments?
I almost stopped listening about an hour in due to the poor narration, but hung in there for the beautiful story, and I'm happy I did

Good Book, Terrible Narrator
I went through the entire book sad because the narrator basically yelled the entire story. It was not enjoyable to listen to. I only finished it because I liked the story and wanted to see what happens, but I will never get a book narrated by this person again. It was painful to even try to listen. I could do a better job.

Great story, poor performance
I rarely leave a negative review for anything and hate to in this case because this book is worth reading, however the audible version is unfortunate. The voice performance was so poor on this that I couldn't get through the first chapter. I would recommend saving your money and read this one yourself.

I really enjoyed the book
I was worried based on the other reviews about the audio recording. It was ok but I think that was because I listen to everything at 1.25 or higher.

A story that includes many sides
One of my favorite parts of this book is that it shows multiple sides of the war and people. It includes innocence and guilt that can be found in every person based on what they have lived and endured.

Interesting but predictable story…narrator AWFUL!!
Another take on the holocaust…with a slight twist. More interesting if The reader acted like she was the least bit interested in the story… I’ve listen to a few other of her books with different narrators and they were much more interesting

Usually love this author but….
Overall the story kept my interest. I kept listening because I wanted to hear the outcome, but I found it to be far fetched… also the narrator left a lot to be desired.

Bad narrator
I really enjoyed the story from
A German point of view. I HATED the narrator. You have to get someone else. It really took away from the quality of the experience
