This is a beautiful story different from most, beautifully written, and beautifully performed. It is the depiction of lives we rarely get a glimpse of. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem of a novel.

I THINK I LIKED IT

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes. The story line was pretty good

What other book might you compare This Side of the Sky to and why?

DOLL HOUSE

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrators could have had a more 1930s southern accnt. I had to keep reminding myself the story took place back in the 30s .

Could you see This Side of the Sky being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I could. Unknown actors would be good.

Any additional comments?

The chapters speaking from Kellners point of view could have been left out. Unnecessary
