Unabridged Audiobook
I selected this book because my family spent summers in Maine and we still feel a special tie to the lake and camp we no longer own. However...this book needs a lot more editing! It was overly long, more detailed about things (e.g. how a character’s clothing was arranged for the next day) rather about the characters of the characters! The people were stick-figuresque, did not evolve in any way, and the movements back and forth in time did not do anything but taunt the reader/listener into thinking perhaps something of substance would finally be revealed....and so I kept waiting. For naught. I will never invest in a 16 hour listen again without recommendations from my personal friends. The narrator has a nice voice but I frequently had to adjust the volume to catch what she was saying (perhaps a production problem). My FB friends have already received my even more frank assessment of this book.
Excellent story, beautifully written and artfully interwoven between three generations of a family. Highly recommended!
Oh, my. This is a NYT best seller? Along with James Patterson drivel.
