Glimmers

By: Barbara Brooke

Narrated by: Ann Richardson

Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's Summary

A simple touch, and suddenly Paige is in the past - living someone else's life, seeing the world through another person's eyes, and feeling their deepest emotions. Paige used to think memories only existed in the mind. But now, she knows better. She can't explain how or why, but she experiences 'glimmers', special moments that have remained behind - clinging to a letter, a ring, even a worn-out pair of boots. Each time she returns from a glimmer, a small part of her has changed.

Paige thinks her new talent is a gift, until she is suddenly transported into her own sister's memory and catches a glimmer of her sister's secret life.

Take this humorous and romantic journey, as Paige learns about true love through the lives of three extraordinary women.

Glimmers resembles many literary novels: Southern warmth from The Notebook; light-hearted drama and family dynamics of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood; timeless romance of Pride and Prejudice.

A fun time travel story

What did you love best about Glimmers?

I honestly liked everything about Glimmers, it was fun, moved fast, and was well written and narrated

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the way when she slipped into shoes from the used store and found herself in the past living another persons life.

What about Ann M. Richardson’s performance did you like?

Wow, it was just a super good narration, the narrator was excellent in her ability to change voices rapidly and she gave a good mood to the book. Can't praise the narration enough. Super good.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

lol, Beware trying on used clothes.

Any additional comments?

This was a real good time travel book and the author did not leave anything unresolved. She pulled the different time periods together very skillfully. For a fun and somewhat light read, I think any time travel fan will enjoy it. I do recommend the audio version as the narrator brings much more to the story than just static reading of text.

I fully enjoyed listening to Glimmers

The narrator did a nice job and the story was fun. I listened to this novel on a long car trip.
