Unabridged Audiobook
Very well written. Passionately narrated. The language, meter, and phrasing is spot on for this period piece. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Very well written book. Isabell’s act of giving away land to families in need is very inspiring. In return for her generosity she got to see her farm in complete bloom.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Tried this title after listening to a LOT of crime, mystery and violent thrillers. Great narrator-wasn't it really a single narrator? and did anyone take note of him channeling John Wayne as the voice of the sheriff? The ending perhaps needed a loose end tied up?
Lovely read. The narrator’s voice was perfect
Very well written, thought provoking book. Not a genre I would normally pick up, but very glad to have read it! Excellent narration as well.
This book was a wonderful read. The narrator made every character come to life along with the storyline kept me listening. Quite the page turner!
The narrator was fabulous as was the story
i loved the narrator. great book.
The author is very creative regarding plot, but unseasoned at developing his characters. The one character whom I felt I could actually feel something about was "George", the father, who is honest, real and believable as an actual, fully developed and rounded person. The use of modern language often spoken by the younger characters was anachronistic and did not work. The dialogue between George's son and the slave did not make sense - the slave, who was born to slaves and had worked on a farm as a slave all his life up until the time of his manumission would not have had the same vocabulary as George's son. It was because of shortcomings like this that the whole story took on a "Disney" feel for me. The narrator was very good.
