Historia
"When I was little I would think of ways to kill my daddy. I would figure out this or that way and run it down through my head until it got easy." So begins the tale of Ellen Foster, the brave and engaging heroine of Kaye Gibbons's first novel, which won the Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Wise, funny, affectionate and true, Ellen Foster is, as Walker Percy called it, "The real thing. Which is to say, a lovely, sometimes heart/wrenching novel...."

El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives.

And so, before each girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora makes sure they know they are always welcome to return.

As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

One hundred fifty years of Roses' Tolivers, Warwicks, and DuMonts! We begin in the antebellum South on Plantation Alley in South Carolina, where Silas Toliver, deprived of his inheritance, joins up with his best friend Jeremy Warwick to plan a wagon train expedition to the "black waxy" promise of a new territory called Texas. Slavery, westward expansion, abolition, the Civil War, love, marriage, friendship, tragedy and triumph-all the ingredients (and much more) that made so many love Roses so much-are here in abundance.

And fortunately, the listener will not have to say farewell to these characters, since it is the first in a series that will tell the story of three Californian families over the course of the 20th century.

Historia
Marina and Lee is one of the best and truest audiobooks about the Kennedy assassination. Priscilla Johnson McMillan came to the story with a unique knowledge of the two main characters. In the 1950s she knew Kennedy well for a time when he was hospitalized with Addison's disease. She talked to him frequently, brought him books, knew his wife, and formed a strong opinion of the sort of man he was. What is astonishing is that she also knew Lee Harvey Oswald.

Another Marvelous Story Written & Read by Gibbons
Kaye Gibbons' books exist in a marvelous mist of mystic atmosphere. So often, only the abridged version of her books is narrated by this author (I would buy Charms for the Easy Life all over again if I could get the unabridged version read by Kaye!), but here we get the full book enhanced by the lovely lilt and knowing inflections of the author herself. Though, it's not a long one, well worth a credit!

LOVED it!
KG has such a soothing voice. I could listen to her read anything. I enjoy everything she has written, but this was a particular favorite. The quirky characters were delightful! Keep them coming, Ms. Gibbons

Waste of money and time....
I really don't know where to start...the story was awful...there was nothing there to grab on to and enjoy..it actually was a bit confusing, worsened by the flat narration. I don't think I have ever heard such horrible narration. I gave this story an obligatory 45 minutes due to the fact that I did pay for it, but was relieved when my time was up. I wish I could get my money back....

Didn't enjoy the narration.
I found this book tough to listen to. The author does the reading, but I found her delivery stiff, unnatural and forced. She has a Southern accent, which I generally enjoy listening to, but I found hers to be more of a whine. The story is OK, not great. It drags a bit, but the narration drags it down even more. If the quality of the narration matters a lot to you, pass on this one.
