NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters, and weathered the storms of youth as they built a family. From a distance, their lives look picture perfect. But after the girls leave home, Jack and Elizabeth quietly drift apart. When Jack accepts a wonderful new job, Elizabeth puts her own needs aside to follow him across the country. Then tragedy turns Elizabeth’s world upside down. In the aftermath, she questions everything about her life—her choices, her marriage, even her long-forgotten dreams. In a daring move that shocks her husband, friends, and daughters, she lets go of the woman she has become—and reaches out for the woman she wants to be.

This novel lacked some of the substance of Kristin Hannah's other titles which I've listened to. It was quite repetitious. The rapid fire narration detracted from the story too. Was the audio sped up? Surely no one reads that quickly!

Average story spoilt by narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully written realistic portrayal of a couple who are at a crossroad in life when they become empty nesters. As happens in real life, life’s challenges all seem to come at once. While rising to meet these challenges head on as individuals who have lost their connection with each other, each realises what is ultimately most important and fundamental to their future happiness. The characters are beautifully drawn, complex, flawed and real. Wonderful performance by the reader as well. Highly recommend.

Beautiful portrait of a long term marriage and enduring love

I could not really focus on the story as every sentence ended with the same intonation, making it highly distracting and impossible for me to finish. Such a shame as I am usually completely taken by Kristen Hannah’s books. I would love to listen to it again with a different narrator.

The narration was unbearable
