Wild Things

De: Karin Kallmaker

Narrado por: Abby Craden

Scholar and award-winning author Faith Fitzgerald has every reason to be happy: a wealthy, charming man who adores her and a family cheering her marriage prospects. But from the moment she meets Eric's sister, Sydney Van Allen, she knows her safe, predictable feelings for him are a shadow of what could be.

Openly lesbian and running for senator, Sydney can only succeed if she can live down her wild past. That means no liaisons, especially with the achingly alluring woman on her brother's arm who looks at her with confusion - and desire.

excellent story

I will listen to anything read by Abbey Crayden. Growing up Catholic and having very strict religious parents made this book hit home

Excellent Story

Woooowheeeee! What a story! As a recovering Catholic myself the writer did not miss the mark! So deep and authentic — loved it loved it loved it — great introduction to this author and I loved the history motif — enjoyed learning about ancient English queens and how women ran kingdoms — cause believe me in school it was all about the men — he he he he he all the time - I got tired of laughing and it wasn’t until I asked where are the women in the past that Mr Lopez started telling us about women’s contributions to history! And as usual Abby is fantastic!!! She adds depth and realness to whatever she reads! A+ Abby well done and the writer gets an A+ as well! Well worth the credit!! Learned about the past and love at the same time! Great story!!

Religious conflict

The abrupt ending. The story went from now to forever and marriage in a paragraph.

Very drastic sides

Such complex characters bring matched up. Appreciate the very real life perspective on religion, faith and politics. Keeping it nice and short was perfect.

Well done

Listening to the book after having read it back in 1996, brought back all the political memories from that decade. The audiobook version was delightful and still expresses a very powerful message that the LGBTQ+ community is actively present and must stay strong.

Deep

I am not catholic but I think I learned alot from this book. I love the historical tellings and the main love story. Such a touching story! 5 stars for me

Listen read it in a day

A wonderful and intelligent love story. Narrated by one of my favorites. Get whisked away!

Good read

Great character development, with a good amount of Med evil history woven in. Brother Eric is a bit too good to be believable. Narration a plus. Abby Craden is the only narrator I know that can make an alcoholic’s desire for a drink sound sexy.

An excellent book that hits right home for so many!

This book hit me so close at home.. it showed all the conflicting feelings, turmoils, emotions & suffering with one’s true feelings, identity & religious beliefs!
I have been there, & somehow I’m still suffering conflicting emotions & thoughts about the matter.. yet, it helps to know that so many people coming from the same backgrounds are suffering the same!

Well done!! I hope that there are more books dealing with such conflicts & covering the rest of the faiths & racial backgrounds!

Faith

Having come from a background of being in faith, and coming out later in life, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It showed the struggles that we go through as people of faith.
