This is such a sad story of lost love to a second
chance. Years ago Emma
chose her career and family over love for many different reasons. Now she comes
face to face with her past love that has a book and movie out. This book she
did the editing years ago she knows this story by heart and the changes she
knows are about her. Spending time with him she isn’t sure she made the right
choice. As they get to know each other again, working through their past
dealing with the anger and the people today it is a long road that they might
not ever over come.
I loved this narrator she brings so much
to the audio you can hear the laughter and sadness in her voice. Giving pause
where it is needed to let it all sink in. Her emotions are outstanding as well
as her character voices. Her male voices sound so manly, strong and real. They
really fit the character so well even the one with the gay man it was just
wonderful. Her female voices are just as good soft sweet to the older women and
the one that acts so much younger than she is. There are no background noises,
no repeating of words and no volume changes. If any breaks were taken I could
not tell. Her normal voice was just as great as her character voices. She
really adds so much to this audio. She has a way of changing her tones to
really pull the reader in giving you a wonderful listen. There were times I
felt like crying and others where I couldn’t help but chuckle.This is the first
time I have listen to this narrator and it sure will not be the last.
What a touching and emotional read that
really grabs you from the characters to their emotions. You never really know
if things will work out until the end.
You are held spellbound until the end as you watch people’s hearts break
others trying to control people and how it all affects them. I loved the humor and emotions that went with
this story. Yes it was sad and emotional but it also makes you chuckle. I have
not read the Austen classic but this book
was just a wonderful listen that really held my interest. I had trouble putting
it down.
