I almost abandoned listening after the first couple of chapters because the book initially felt like a lighthearted domestic satire. Nothing wrong with that, just not what I was in the mood for. Soon, though, the plot took a darker turn and the chara ...more

I've read a few Anita Shreve books and I had forgotten her talent for conveying emotional nuance and the details of domestic life. This qualifies as historical fiction, taking place as it does in the late 1940s (and based on a real historical event). ...more

Audrey’s Quotes

“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!”
― Rumi
