About this listen

Another Life is a powerful, moving and hopeful story of the life-changing impact of the connections we form, by the bestselling author of The Four Winds and The Women, Kristin Hannah.

Angie DeSaria has spent years of her life trying to have a child. Now, her marriage has crumbled under the strain. Adrift and alone, she returns to her childhood home, a small coastal town in the Pacific Northwest, to help try and rescue the beloved, failing family business.

Lauren Ribido is a senior in high school. She dreams of an Ivy League education, escaping her hometown and her troubled mother.

When Angie hires Lauren to work at the restaurant, they form an immediate bond, which deepens when Lauren’s mother abruptly leaves town and Angie offers her a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women – one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love – will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

*Published in the US as The Things We Do for Love

I was a little disappointed in the predictability, although it didn’t pan out quite as I thought it did have some interesting reflections on teenage pregnancy, and I’m not sorry I listen to it but the other Kristin Hannah books I have read were a lot stronger …The Nightingale , The women and four winds ( in that order)

Even though this book was very easy to listen to and kept your interest I found it not as strong as other Hannah books.

An easy read. Too easy. I didn’t really feel like any of the characters had real substance, they were all stereotypical moulds and everything about this book was utterly predictable.

Totally predictable
