Thanks, Celeste. it was a challenging time,but I'm feeling lucky.

Terrific review, Linda! Sending well wishes!

" . . . circumstances affect interpretation."

So true, Linda. Glad to hear your eyes are in good shape now!

So glad you've recovered, Linda. You said the procedure is minor (albeit painful) but it sounds awful!

A very reflective review, Linda. That’s a horrible procedure you had. I hope you’ve fully recovered.

Such an insightful review, Linda. Sharing thoughts on books as a way to communicate with the world is fulfilling, as we all know firsthand on this site.
Glad to hear your eye has healed and its temporary illness had its silver lining :)

Love your review. I know of someone who has no physical friends. Her relationships are written through personal letters- ha- email is far from considered. Makes no sense for eye strain./Glad your better. My mother has something similar to mac. degen in one eye. Has had it for about 5 years and on schedule gets a shot in it. Sounds awful, but she cant feel it.

Thanks, Bruce. It wasn't fun, but there are a lot worse things people go through.

Thanks, Stacey. A shot in the eye sounds scary. I hope your Mom is ok.

Oh my goodness, Linda--your procedure sounds terrible! I'm so happy to read that your eye has improved and vision is restored. Your circumstances during the reading of this audiobook I agree affect the interpretation. Thanks for your review and for sharing your reading experience. Happy New Year!

Thanks for your kind words Vanessa.

From what I've seen, nearly everyone likes or loves this novel, and no matter by audio or print. You had a unique perspective Linda. Last I looked, I'm number 575 on the library hold list, lol, but look forward to it.

Great review, Linda. You made an excellent point about how circumstances can influence interpretation, which makes the entire concept of interpretation even more malleable.
I'm glad your vision has returned to normal.

Happy New Year!

Do you get the Libby App for audio at your library? the wait wasn't so bad on that.

Thanks,Nika. No one mentioned the vision aspect when they recommended the book to me. That says a lot about the malleability of interpretation. I hope the New year is good for you.
