Such depth of character and a meaningful story that unfolded perfectly. Bah to everyone who didn’t like the ending, it was exactly as it should be, it ended as it began and that’s all you need to know in order to realize that everything works out. I’ll give it a month and probably listen again.

The story line and narration were both superb. This delivery had some of the most consistent and accurate accents. Even male dialogue was well delivered. The scenery was beautiful and the characters were richly woven into a charming storyline.

A new author to love
As a fan of Kate Morton I was pleased to find Tracy Rees.
The characters where well formed the story while not a cliffhanger kept me entertained throughout.
The narration was spot on as I am a big fan of Imogene church second only to Caroline Lee.
I plan to read Florence Grace in the near future.

Another Good One By Tracy Rees
I did not enjoy this book by Rees as much as her other two....mainly because of the narration. The voice for Chloe and the other teens in Wales went from cloying to shrill and
the Welsh accents were a little hard to understand. The narration for "Nora " was fine.
I liked the story a lot and the character development was good.
However I must say I am a little tired of the style of writing that jumps back and forth between
generational characters. I wish authors would go back to a straight forward style and just tell the story the way Ann Tyler, Rosamunde Pilcher or Nevil Shute does.

I laughed, I cried, I LOVED THIS BOOK!
What made the experience of listening to The Hourglass the most enjoyable?
Characters were immediately interesting and engaging. Narrators did a nice job with the different voices and accents. But the story was wound at just the right pace of foreshadowing and moving the plot forward, with a wonderful payoff at the end. I laughed, I cried, I LOVED IT!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hourglass?
The last several chapters. I would hate to spoil it for anyone. One great one, though, was the coffee/lunch scene with Nora and Logan. Perfectly crafted!
What does Charlotte Strevens and Imogen Church bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
How one would pronounce some of the Welsh words! Great job by both narrators.
If you could take any character from The Hourglass out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Leo, for his perception and authenticity.
Any additional comments?
Wish we had more from The author. I have really loved every one.

Unputdownable
A lovely heart wrenching and heart felt story.
Had me gripped from the start. It finishes the way it started...on a prayer....one you wish to come true.

Nice enough story shame about the story tellers!
Quite a pleasant story but it was spoiled for me by the narrators their awful accents were so grating! Why try to use colloquial accents and phrases that are almost a insulting to the listener. I gave one star to the performance but it's not worth it!

very predictable
A little long for such a basic but sweet storyline. No surprises along the way.

Thoroughly enjoyable listen.
I've been listening to this Author since her debut. This novel was equally enjoyable. The dual time period and two narrators really brought this story to life. Couldn't wait to get back to listening. Highly recommend.
