Wish You Well

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Norma Lana, David Baldacci

Duración: 9 h y 50 m

Resumen del Editor

It is 1940 and a tragedy sends Lou and her little brother, Oz, along with their invalid mother, from New York City to the rugged mountains of Southwest Virginia to live with their great-grandmother. The story is told with both heartbreaking elegance and large doses of touching humor as the lives of Lou and Oz are changed forever.

The portraits of the land and its people are described with an extraordinary eye for detail, and the story flows through swells of prejudice, innocence, faith, and the question of whether one can ever really wish another well. The climactic courtroom battle is as unpredictable as it is relentless and will not only decide the fates of Lou, Oz, and their mother, but also those they have touched.

Any additional comments?

This was good story that I read for book club, but it was a little predictable. It was full of colorful characters and portrayed the time period well.

Wow!

Best I've listened to of all his works, so far. DO NOT miss the last chapter, even though the story ends!

Must Read!

There is not enough words to express the lessons in this book. I believe in reading in something and being able have a take away from it, from the crash to the verdict...it will draw you in! highly recommend

love love this book.

loved this book, character, plot, readers, theme, passions, didn't want to stop listening. Thank you

Mountain full of love

a bit of a departure from his other books that we absolutely loved it! don't really know when I've enjoyed a book so much

Bravo!

Truer words have never been spoken. I felt the beat of the heart of this book. Be sure to listen all the way through including chapter 41. Lots of food for thought.

Loved it!

This was a very entertaining book and I particularly liked the narrator. I will look for more books written by the author and more books narrated by her.

My All time Favorite

What made the experience of listening to Wish You Well the most enjoyable?

I grew up in the early 60's and I remember visiting my grandmother and family up North that were poor, proud wonderful people. I felt a 'Kindred Sprit' with her and I just think this book took me away from reality of life. This is a wonderful read, I recommend it to all kids, should be a 'Must Read' on the Jr High Level....

What did you like best about this story?

The descriptions of the surroundings and family

Have you listened to any of Norma Lana and David Baldacci ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes, and I was very surprised as this was nothing like any Baldacci I've ever read. I think he is a talented Author and has shown his 'diversity' with this book....

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Mostly when the young boy was killed and how moved I was about his plight in life.

Any additional comments?

I purchased the Soft Cover of this book for a few of my friends and my favorite Aunt, I was very excited that they read it and disappear in the story of it.

I loved it

Wonderful. I laughed and I cried.
Great story telling by a great author .
