Story5 out of 5 stars 543
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

Inheritance is an audiobook about secrets - secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than 50 years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history.

From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil.

As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can - visions of all that’s yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous.

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery - or at least that's what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he? Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead.

"Things happen for a reason" is a saying that has validity. Discovering love letters a century old was meant for Ali to discover and Ben to be found. Great story and narrator.

A love that spans a century
I have been dying to listen to this since I found out it will be put in audio because it’s Mae. It did not disappoint. First of all it the kind of women literature that I love. A family that loves so deeply that you can feel it in all their interactions. Ali found a box of letters from her great grandma that she was named after from a man named Elliot who was Not her grandfather. She read them and decided to track down his descendants to share the bounty with them and met his great grandson.
The flashbacks to the turn of the century were so vivid you could smell the salt water and feel the humidity of the tropical air. The pioneering spirits of the Americans who landed in the Philippines and their lives came to life in Elliot’s chapters.
Sarah is an amazing narrator who could switch between female and male voices with such ease. The scenes where Ali interacts with her grandma touched me much.
What a beautiful story to cherish for the ages.
