Historia
Helen Rebanks' beautifully written memoir takes place across a single day on her working farm in the Lake District of England. Weaving past and present, through a journey of self-discovery, the book takes us from the farmhouse table of her grandmother and into the home she now shares with her husband, James, their four kids, and an abundance of animals. With honesty and grace, Helen shares her life in days—sometimes a wonder and a joy, others a grind to be survived—weaving in stories that unfolds like a well-written pastoral novel.

I gained a renewed appreciation for farmers and farming. Current culture doesn’t allow for understanding the critical importance of the food we put in our bodies every day. Agribusiness has cut us off from the most important thing we can do for good health. Those interested in the most basic source of energy, satisfaction and health will value the message of The Farmer’s Wife.

Historia
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception.

Enlightening
Revisado: 10-11-23
“Mistakes Were Made, but Not by Me” is content-rich, thought provoking, and can be deeply personal. It makes one wonder if the concept of “original sin” might be interpreted as an inability to actually feel the pain of others.
I can’t say that I *enjoyed* reading this book, but I can say it gave my brain a lot to chew on

Excellent in Every Way

Streep’s narration is superb. Patchett never disappoints. I hung on every word. Of course it made me hunger for some of those sweet Michigan cherries.

Historia
In 1943, Irene Woodward abandons an abusive fiancé in New York to enlist with the Red Cross and head to Europe. She makes fast friends in training with Dorothy Dunford, a towering Midwesterner with a ferocious wit. Together they are part of an elite group of women, nicknamed Donut Dollies, who command military vehicles called Clubmobiles at the front line, providing camaraderie and a taste of home that may be the only solace before troops head into battle.

The writing in this book took my breath away. My emotions caught in my throat at every turn. The narration was also amazing. This book has made it hard for me to imagine what to read next. Because most certainly any book that does not live up to Mr. Urea’s standards of writing, narrative, plot, dialogue and descriptive passages will certainly be a disappointment.

Historia
On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

An awesome adventure tale.

Not normally a fan of adventure stories, this one held my interest from beginning to end. I only regret with the audio performance does not include the illustrations and photos. Mr. Grann spoke about.

Intriguing story idea. Banal treatment.
Revisado: 12-12-21
Good vocal performances make up for rather banal treatment of a story with an intriguing concept.
