For years, guitarist Quinn Porter has been on the road, chasing gig after gig, largely absent to his twice-ex-wife Belle and their odd, Guinness records-obsessed son. When the boy dies suddenly, Quinn seeks forgiveness for his paternal shortcomings by completing the requirements for one of his son's unfinished Boy Scout badges. For seven Saturdays Quinn does yard work for Ona Vitkus, the spry 104-year-old Lithuanian immigrant the boy had visited weekly.

The "friendly invasion" of Britain by over a million American G.I.s bewitched a generation of young women deprived of male company during the Second World War. With their exotic accents, smart uniforms, and aura of Hollywood glamour, the G.I.s easily conquered their hearts, leaving British boys fighting abroad green with envy. But for girls like Sylvia, Margaret, Gwendolyn, and even the skeptical Rae, American soldiers offered something even more tantalizing than chocolate, chewing gum, and nylon stockings: An escape route from Blitz-ravaged Britain.

Publisher's Summary

On a farm in western Missouri, during the first half of the twentieth century, Matthew and Callie Soames create a life for themselves and raise four headstrong daughters. Jessica will break their hearts. Leonie will fall in love with the wrong man. Mary Jo will escape to New York. And wild child Mathy’s fate will be the family’s greatest tragedy.

Over the decades they will love, deceive, comfort, forgive - and, ultimately, they will come to cherish all the more fiercely the bonds of love that hold the family together.

Wonderful, timeless story

The story of generational divides and family struggles is fantastic, and the narration by Natalie Ross is outstanding. She really brings each character to life.

Mediocre story, irritating narrator.

While the story was at times interesting, the narrator really put me off. I struggled to finish the entire book, and only did so as I was determined not to waste the money I paid for it.

Good but a little slow

It was a good book, but I found it difficult to finish. Hopefully I'll come back to it at some point.

Have loved this book since 1964

What made the experience of listening to The Moonflower Vine the most enjoyable?

I have read this book many times over the years and was very happy to see it was finally on Audible. It is a lovely book about a family of 3 daughters starting in the early 1900's.

What did you like best about this story?

I like each family member having their own section of the book to tell their own story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Natalie Ross’s performances?

I didn't think she got Leonie's righteous character right and all the young men sounded like old men so perhaps not.

Who was the most memorable character of The Moonflower Vine and why?

Leonie. She is so earnest, full of opinions and idealism and never getting loved enough for it.
