Wow


(5 stars)

this book sucked me in completely... I found myself wanting to stop listening because I was so into the story that I was angry at the characters. lol... That doesn't happen every day. :-) as always wonderfully read by miss klett who is still my all time favorite reader! thank you librovox for making my days of all day driving at work fly by so pleasantly....

Great read!

I really enjoyed this story, specially how susie grows and finds her place in life.

Stunning!


(5 stars)

This was my first Edith Wharton book, and I will definitely try to obtain others. Elizabeth Klett — my favorite Jane Austen reader — gives a gracefully delicate lilt to this tale of love lost and found. Moving without being mushy, thought provoking with spouting platitudes, romance without cliche…I would highly recommend to anyone considering this book!

Enjoyable


(4 stars)

I am exploring a variety of Edith Wharton books. While traditional happy ending aren't really her style, this book might be as close as we can get to one. Though the ending still left a little to be desired.

Oh no!


(4.5 stars)

I said that several times during the listening. Sometimes life carries us to "happily ever after'. Sometimes it doesn't. I won't give away the end, but the reader brings us to it gracefully. Well done.

Elizabeth Klett reads Wharton perfectly!


(4 stars)

Not my favorite Wharton work, but Elizabeth Klett's reading is so perfect that I listened for hours and hours, all through the night. A brilliant reading of an excellent writer!


(5 stars)

Loved it. Found that the heroine reminded me a lot of Wharton's Lily Bart, so I was happy that this story had a very different ending. Beautiful reading, as always with Elizabeth Klett.

unending anticipation

One can never tell which way Ms. Wharton's books will end; happy, sad, ironic or fantastic. Keeps you on the edge of your seat!
