Magic Hour

By: Kristin Hannah

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.

In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest - nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.

Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past - although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice - and for herself.

“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.” - Booklist

The narrator ruined a decent story

The narrator was awful to the point of ruining the book. This was not Kristen Hannah's best work but it would have been enjoyable if the narrators performance didn't leave you thinking all the characters needed antidepressants.

So So

I liked the story line but sadly for me the voice was all wrong, it didn’t feel right. Not one of my favorite Kristin Hannah performances.

Fantastic story

This story was. Roller coaster of emotions but so different than anything g I have read in the past. The development of the characters was fantastic. Couldn’t stop listening

Narration

The narration took away from the story. She sounded too old for the main character and that distracted me from the story line. Could have been better with a different reader.

Enjoyable

The narrator and story were very enjoyable. I think it was far fetched but a good listen never the less.
