The Last Time They Met

De: Anita Shreve

Narrado por: Lainie Cooke

From the last time Linda and Thomas meet, at a charmless hotel in a distant city, to the moment, thirty-five years earlier, when a chance encounter on a rocky beach binds them fatefully together, this hypnotically compelling novel unfolds a tale of intense passion, drama, and suspense. The Last Time They Met is a singularly ambitious and accomplished work by one of today's most widely celebrated novelists.

Very very slow

Anita Shreve knows how to craft a creative novel, with almost lyrical prose. THE LAST TIME THEY MET is no exception.
Linda and Thomas, poets and former lovers, are reunited at a writer's conference decades later. I don't want to say too much, to give away plot twists or spoil the book.
I thought the second section of the book, twenty-six years before the first, was less compelling than the first, but the third section more than made up for the middle part.
I didn’t understand the twist until I read spoilers. Then I had to re-listen to the audiobook end three times.

great book, weird audio volume levels

I absolutely love this book. I read it as a teenager and revisited it again like an old friend.
The narration volume would change at random times though.

The Mind police- never know where you are with this one

She could have had better narration but it was very soothing.The foreshadow and delicate way it was handled made a story that girls that have been in similar situations relate to.

Problem with the Recording

About half way through the book I started hearing an under tone using my Airbuds . The next day I heard the sane annoying background words just listening on my iPhone with no Airbuds. It was very distracting. I’m sure there was an issue with recording the second half of the story.

very good book.

the narrator was very good. The story line kept my interest but it didn't keep me captivated. I will read others by this author though.
