Acerca de esta escucha
Fans of I Don't Know How She Does It and Where'd You Go, Bernadette will cheer at this "fresh, funny take on the age-old struggle to have it all" (People) and about what happens when a wife and mother of three leaps at the chance to fulfill her professional destiny - only to learn every opportunity comes at a price.
In A Window Opens, beloved books editor at Glamour magazine Elisabeth Egan brings us Alice Pearse, a compulsively honest, longing-to-have-it-all, sandwich generation heroine for our social media-obsessed, lean in (or opt out) age. Like her fictional forebears, Kate Reddy and Bridget Jones, Alice plays many roles (which she never refers to as "wearing many hats" and wishes you wouldn't, either). She is a mostly happily married mother of three, an attentive daughter, an ambivalent dog owner, a part-time editor, a loyal neighbor, and a Zen commuter. She is not: a cook, a craftswoman, a decorator, an active PTA member, a natural caretaker, or the breadwinner. But when her husband makes a radical career change, Alice is ready to lean in - and she knows exactly how lucky she is to land a job at Scroll, a hip, young startup that promises to be the future of reading, with its chain of chic literary lounges and dedication to beloved classics. The Holy Grail of working mothers - an intellectually satisfying job and a happy personal life - seems suddenly within reach.
Despite the disapproval of her best friend, who owns the local bookstore, Alice is proud of her new "balancing act" (which is more like a three-ring circus) until her dad gets sick, her marriage flounders, her babysitter gets fed up, her kids start to grow up, and her work takes an unexpected turn. Listeners will cheer as Alice realizes the question is not whether it's possible to have it all, but what does she - Alice Pearse - really want?

Alongside boxes of Polaroids and pottery, a mysterious wooden duck shows up at the bottom of a cedar chest.

No matter what the world throws her way, at least Ruthie Beamish has the house. Lovingly renovated, located by the sea in a quiet Long Island village, the house is her nest egg - the retirement account shared with her ex-husband, Mike, and the college fund for their teenage daughter, Jem. The catch? To afford the house, Ruthie must let it go during the best part of the year. It's Memorial Day weekend, and Ruthie has packed up their belongings for what Jem calls "the summer bummer": the family's annual exodus to make way for renters.

She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells - taken without her knowledge - became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than 60 years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

If you could sum up A Window Opens in three words, what would they be?
Could be you. (Or me.) Which is more than three words. But not really. Parentheses don't count. Didn't you know? Shh...it's our secret.What other book might you compare A Window Opens to and why?
This book fits really nicely into a bookshelf with Lauren Groff's "Fates and Furies," and the beautiful "Did You Ever Have a Family?" by Bill Clegg. Also the luminous "The Mare" by Mary Gaitskill, whih has many of the same dramatic elements--long-tme married couples struggling to figure out their place in the world. This bookshelf makes up an amazing rading list.Which scene was your favorite?
I can never answer this question--books have too many of these. And one doesn't want to ruin the plot for someone else. Having said that, there was a moment in the book when the main character is talking about her kids getting older, and thinking she's about to enjoy a really liberating time in her life--only to have a parent get diagnosed with a terminal illness. This is exactly where I am in my life and it felt so personal, and deeply touhing to me to read about someone else going through it.There are a lot of funny moments in this book revolving around the company that book lover Alice goes to work for. It's sort of a "Google Meets Amazon Meets Apple Meets..." There are some very wry jabs at this culture, especially in terms of their company-speak, almost always in acronyms. I also love some of the funny exchanges between Alice and her kids, who use language in other humorous ways. All in all, just a very good use of a credit.If you could take any character from A Window Opens out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would take main character Alice to dinner, one because she could use a night out, and two, because I would love to hear her talk about the books she loves.Any additional comments?
This book sat in my library for months before I finally read it. I think the cover reminded me of another book I hadn't liked at all. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge.I find myself thinking of this book not in a raving "Oh my God, I LOED this book" way. But rather in a very tender way. I loved this book. It touched me.By the way, I loved Julia Whelan's narration. Here, I AM raving. She doesn't have a big trunk full of different voices. She simply reads, in a beautiful voice, the story. Kind of the way you'd want someone to read to you if you were sick in bed and wanted a story. Five stars to her.
Surprised that I love this book so!

Would you try another book from Elisabeth Egan and/or Julia Whelan?
Elisabeth Egan is delightful and I would read her again. Julia Whelan's narration was distracting and I wish I had read it on paper instead of listening to the audiobook.Would you recommend A Window Opens to your friends? Why or why not?
Although Alice is relatable, I didn't find any deeper meaning in the story that would inspire me to recommend it to friends.How could the performance have been better?
The male and child voices were overdone and I felt that the narrator's tone was changing the meaning of the dialog for me. The husband's voice was particularly bad, making him sound like a whiny elderly man instead of the young, energetic husband and father he was. The other characters weren't much better.Did A Window Opens inspire you to do anything?
I'm going to put more stock in the Audible reviews that warn me about a bad narration!Read the carbon-based book
