Easy read. Some of Montefiore’s books have an unsatisfactory ending but this end was good. Some parts are a bit long winded, but not so much you want to forward wind.
Narration was so good I had to check it was definitely read by just the one person.

Wonderful

A really enjoyable listen. The author tied the events of the two generations and two locations beautifully up with a great big romantic ribbon. The narrator did the voices very well & I had no difficulty with who was who, which is something I often stumble on. Kept me entertained on a long-haul flight with a few wee screamers! Comforting. I would recommend.

Beautifully extended romance

I did find this book a bit predictable at times, but overall, not a bad listen. One of the better books I'v come across recently.

Enjoyable book.

Love isn't always what it seems and this story shows just that. I loved the story and the narration. took me awhile to get used to the American accent at the start.

Love and family

A great story with some credible characters that linger in the mind after the story ends.
Bear with the narrators awful American accents, it does get less harsh and the English part is lovely.
Enjoyable listen.
