The Forgotten Room

De: Karen White, Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig

Narrado por: Morgan Hallett, Susan Bennett

New York Times best-selling authors Karen White, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig present a masterful collaboration - a rich, multigenerational novel of love and loss that spans half a century....

It's 1945: When the critically wounded Captain Cooper Ravenal is brought to a private hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side, young Dr. Kate Schuyler is drawn into a complex mystery that connects three generations of women in her family to a single extraordinary room in a Gilded Age mansion. Who is the woman in Captain Ravenel's portrait miniature who looks so much like Kate? And why is she wearing the ruby pendant handed down to Kate by her mother? In their pursuit of answers, they find themselves drawn into the turbulent stories of Gilded Age Olive Van Alen, driven from riches to rags, who hired out as a servant in the very house her father designed, and Jazz Age Lucy Young, who came from Brooklyn to Manhattan in pursuit of the father she had never known. But are Kate and Cooper ready for the secrets that will be revealed in the Forgotten Room?

The Forgotten Room, set in alternating time periods, is a sumptuous feast of a novel brought to vivid life by three brilliant storytellers.

Surprising

This was a very entertaining audio book. Some twists and turns were unexpected. A wonderful not sappy story of love.

Loved This Book!

This was so good I wish there was a sequel with Kate and Cooper! I always love to read the happy ending too. Just not have to imagine it!

Up my alley....

I thought this book was wonderful. Loved the history. I like to follow the lives of others way back when and listen to the twists, turns, and secrets. Was different listening to the time periods go back and forth, but I got used to it. Nice narration too. Great job writing this one ladies!

A great love story

I enjoyed this so much! The story spanned 3 generations and the skillful way the narrative switched back and forth among them kept me riveted, wanting to know how it would turn out for each of them.

Flip flop through Time

Very imaginative story about three women from different areas and time and how their lives intersect. Highly recommended

beautiful

Well written, well read, and very much enjoyed by me. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes romance, historical fiction, or stories

Immensely captivating storyline. A bit hard to follow the connection of the characters, but very creative writing.

Definitely a good read. Concentration is a must. I recommend quiet place and cozy. Don’t rush through it!

A sweet, romantic tale that is not a bodice ripper

I am not a romance novelist reader. Most do not appeal to me as the writing is too simplistic, the story too predictable and the characters too perfect. I like messy characters who are flawed and imperfect. I like stories that surprise or shock me. So, I did not know what to expect with this book but hoped that it would offer something different and it did. Although it is mostly a romance it is also a sweet glimpse into three historical settings and a bit of a mystery. It is a very easy read; flows well and leaves the reader content if not challenged or thinking. I liked it; I didn't love it.
