Unabridged Audiobook
I didn't think I was going to like it. Because this author really slows down to describe every detail of everything. And her books are always inching toward someone's death. But despite myself I loved this book. I prefer it significantly to Hamnet. Both the book and the narrator were great.
Gorgeously written
Excellent book. Very entertaining.
Loved it
Great book
Good book considering the lack of historical evidence. Kept me interested until the end which was anticlimactic and too slow floating between her thoughts and reality. Not a fan of British accents. Very difficult to understand at times. I will keep an eye out for future books by this author.
A wonderful book that kept me on the edge of my seat. For anyone who enjoys historical fiction and non-fiction, run and grab this book.
The writing is absolutely exquisite! I love all the detail Maggie O ‘Farrell includes. I was transported. This audiobook made short work of the evening dishwashing as I became completed lost in the story. If it had been a hard copy book I wouldn’t have set it down and none of the chores would have been done!
This was a great listen if you enjoy historical fiction. It is, however based on true facts:)
Fabulous, gripping story! What women had to live through!!
Historical Fiction at it's finest!
Enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the way the author tied things together and was very descriptive. The book jumps around in the story and in a few places I felt it got a bit confusing but I stuck with it and eventually it all made sense. I also thought the plot was made clear early in the story so I was almost waiting for it to happen.
For me, it was difficult to follow because she jumped around too much. After I finished the book, I had to listen to a 15 minute YouTube summary to fully understand. Great plot though! If you like historical fiction, give it a try.
The audio equivalent of gazing at a portrait by Bronzino. Fantastic!!
