Too boring for me

Educational as well as inspirational and heartwarming.

Loved the faith aspects woven throughout the story and the well-represented devotion of both the Christian and Jewish religions. I’ve never read a story from the perspective of those who experienced the rejection of The St Louise .Unfortunately, I felt the writing was shallow and the narration not compelling. Her German accent was poor, at best, and she was overall ‘choppy’ in her performance. It just didn’t flow and became distracting. I’m not sorry I listened to it though.

Excellent story spanning World War 2 and the aftermath from the eyes of Christian and Jewish alike. Beautifully written, it wasn’t rushed or dragged out but perfectly followed multiple characters in their struggle to understand Gods purpose through the devastating events. I wish there had been more resolution with Peggy’s father and step mother but otherwise felt it was perfect. The narrator did a beautiful job!

Awesome book. Kept me wanting to listen to

a little too religious for me

Easy listening- not a gripping read though

Great story!

Initially the narrator's voice was annoying to me; too polished and feminine. However, she is an excellent reader and did the book justice. The book started off slow, but built, captivating my attention until I was waiting for the next chapter.

I gained appreciation for the struggles of many during the time period. I loved the fortitude of the characters. Great book.

This was an interesting story of the price that war extracts from those called to serve. It seemed, perhaps, a little over the top in places, but was well worth the listen. The narrator did an excellent job and made me love the main character's personality. She made it easy to follow the plot with the several character she portrayed.

Such a good book. It starts out slow and draws you into each character’s story and how they are intertwined. I “felt” the horrors experienced by Geisla and Jim; the hopelessness that arose from their experiences. The reader could have made it more interesting if her voice wasn’t so monotonous in the beginning. It became better toward the end of the story.

Excellent book. Well read.

4 stars

Loved it. Listened to it twice .

This book had me on the first chapter. I loved every bit of it. I didn’t want to put it down and finished it in 2 days I think. The author made the characters come alive and held my interest.

I really enjoyed this book and the journey it took me on to find out what happened to Jimmy. Great story telling around an historic time.

Heart breaking. Very educational. Motivating.

Good read! Keeps you up and let's you down. She rarely fails but this one was not it

Excellent story, extremely well narrated.
