Cassandra Campbell
At an intimate, festive dinner party in Seattle, six women gather to celebrate their friend Kate's recovery from cancer. Wineglass in hand, Kate strikes a bargain with them. To celebrate her new lease on life, she'll do the one thing that's always terrified her: white-water rafting. But if she goes, all of them will also do something they always swore they'd never do-and Kate is going to choose their adventures.
Shimmering with warmth, wit, and insight, Joy for Beginners is a celebration of life: unexpected, lyrical, and deeply satisfying.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“A joy to read. Bauermeister gives us characters who revel in the best of what life has to offer - loving relationships, fine food, good books, and travel - and she writes with keen observance and wry wit...Readers will be inspired to leap into their own lives with renewed gusto.” (Stephanie Kallos, author of Sing Them Home)
“Sensual...evocative.... A book designed to fill you up and make you hungry for life.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Bauermeister has created a cast of textured and nuanced characters who individually and as a group speak to what makes women interesting and enigmatic. Her prose is velvety smooth, revealing life at once mournful and auspicious. Joyful, indeed.” (Library Journal, starred review)

Would you consider the audio edition of Joy for Beginners to be better than the print version?
As I have not read it but only listened so I can not compare. Audio is wonderful at brining the the characters alive--Erica Baurmeister's books are great to listen to as they flow in a very conversational manner. I have always enjoyed being dread to.What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the idea of Kate giving each of her friends a challenge after her own challenge.If I knew her, I wonder what challenge she would have given me.Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
As always excellent --of course she reads several authors works that I enjoy--Adriana Trigiani and Jodi Picoult--to name two.If you could take any character from Joy for Beginners out to dinner, who would it be and why?
They are all invited to my house for dinner I would like to know them and I have very good friends I would like them to know; which is why I will be recommending the book to my friends.Any additional comments?
I have enjoyed Erica Bauermeister's previous books as well as JOY FOR BEGINNERS. She has a wonderful talent to create original well rounded interesting characters, wich put into realistic life situations with surroundings and environments that are articulately described. Her books flow well. I am amazed at the knowledge she has in so many diverse subjects in this case bread making, throwing pottery, tattoos, and the Colorado river. A very rewarding read.So glad to have met diverse and interesting women

The story struck the right tone between not too heavy and not too light. I had a few driveway moments where I sat in the car for a few minutes longer after arriving home to hear what happened next.
The narration was generally good, but the male characters, the few that there were, all kind of sounded the same.
All in all a fun, engaging story that also makes you think a little bit about what joy you might be missing out on.
Great listen
