A Long Time Gone

At first it was boring then it got interesting.

Wonderful book. Very well written. I’m don’t usually read this type of book, but I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. A generational book about a family of women and how their decisions changed each generation. Fun mystery included, but the solution to the mystery was weakly handled. Little disappointed. I would still recommend. I will miss the characters. The narrators were amazing. Love the cadence of their voices.

I was going to give it two stars but it did keep my attention long enough to finish it. I found the relationship between Vivian and her step daughter interesting and worth exploring. The dialogue was clunky and unrealistic. A surprising amount of fat phobia. Vivian apparently thinks imparting diet culture onto a 12 year old is a parenting strength. Told the story of multiple generations but inexplicably left out one of the generations in the middle.

Wow!

WOW!!!!!!! What a fantastic tale.!! I'd listen to it during the day, in the park, at night falling asleep and having to go back. Going to listen to it again. I hope I didn't miss to much. As to the narrators, they were terrific. they had a hard job.

Great read! Each character was well-represented and tied together very well.

I really enjoyed the book.

An easy story to listen to as multiple mysteries emerge and one by one are slowly solved. The narrators all did a tremendous job and made the story seem a lot shorter than 17 hours.

Well-written and narrated. I hadn’t heard of this novel and took a gamble. Am glad I did. Characters are palpable in this story of women across generations.

Nice book. It was a good story and excellent narration!

Enjoyed the story- The 3 narrators did a wonderful job.

Good story

A very in-depth story of generations and their stories that were just so delicious to listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator as well as the author who did a fantastic job of keeping you guessing what the female perspectives were from each generation and how those perspectives were so closely intertwined together to create this mysterious outcome. I loved this book.

Amazing story and very well read . It was very gripping making you smile and cry at the same time .

I have been looking for a new author to read that would be comparable to Kate Morton. I love how an author can tell 2 or three stories all in the same book! This wa my first Karen White book and I loved it! Ilook forward to reading more of her books. If you like Kate Morton and Susanne Kearsley you will like A Long Time Gone, by Karen White.
