Good book but quite depressing.

I did enjoy this book.
I thought the two narrators were excellent and very well read.
I did find this a good story with interesting characters, however I found it to be quite depressive. There was so much negativity. I don't want to ruin it for future readers by disclosing too much but I found the topics to cover mainly negative subjects. I.e death, divorce, breakdown of family, her relationship with her mother, her financial situation, infidelity etc.... I am glad I didn't listen to it on holiday as a 'happy' read.
So although it was well written it was too negative for me personally. Hope this review is helpful.

narration

the younger Guy in the story sounds like he is a very old man with chronic laryngitis

Perfection

This book was beautifully narrated and I loved every minute of it. And the storyline was magical.

Great story

Really enjoyed this audiobook, interesting story with diverse characters. The narrators were good apart from the the young men’s voices in the 1963 part (they were a bit irritating) but overall a great book

don't be put off by the first few chapters

The first few chapters are quite bizarre. Terrible accents but it gets a lot better.

Great story, lovely characters,.

Lovely story about the complications of familiy life. Great characters, locations and history. Easy listening.

Boring

Tedious stuff lots of detail. Decent writing, but boring boring boring. four more words are required, nothing more to say.

Ok but..........

Quite an enjoyable story although a bit slow .
However, the main thing that spoilt ii for me was the narration with the constant
“I say” “she said” “he said” which became very annoying after for first couple of chapters but I managed to make it to the end!

Heartwarming

This story just makes you feel good. It's sad in parts but it feels human. Thoroughly recommend this book. As always you want to shout at the characters for not communicating but then it wouldn't be a good story if they did it at the beginning

Good twisting time traveling tale

The story line took some twists and turn but delivered an interesting tale. I did guess partly what was going to happen but still good
