Home Again

De: Kristin Hannah

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

At the center of Home Again is Madelaine - a brilliant cardiologist, a loving mother, a tender friend, and a woman full of self-doubt. It is also the story of her confused and angry daughter, Lina, and of the two very different men Madelaine loves: Francis, a priest searching for his faith, and Angel, a talented but cynical man with a broken heart. When tragedy suddenly brings them all together, they must learn to forgive the betrayals of the past and find the courage to love again.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A memorable story of love and redemption.” ( Library Journal)

“All the world loves Kristin Hannah.” ( Newsday)

Somewhat predictable but a good listen

Felt like the story was somewhat predictable, but a good listen for the most part. The characters were well-drawn and although I thought the teenage girl was a bit over the top at times (I found her annoying, not at all endearing), they certainly seemed like real people with real problems.

Sweet love story!

This is one of those sweet love stories that is so easy to listen to. The performance was very enjoyable and I really liked her voice.

She's an awesome author

I really loved this story and all her stories! The narrator was also very engaging.

the presence of family

I really liked how she approached the story in so many different ways. the love story of mom and child. friend and family and man and women. Such a lovely story.

Wistful tale but not what I’m used to from the author

It was an enjoyable listen and brought me back in time but it was super corny. That said, it was a heartwarming story of love and loves.

How parents can help or harm thrift children

The voices were suited to the characters - enjoyable way to listen to a story. Family explainations were engrossing.

A 50 Tissue Read

This is a great story, the people in this story will grab you. She puts hearts and souls in the people on the pages.
I cried almost all the way through it.

Life UNEXPECTED.Excellent book

If you could sum up Home Again in three words, what would they be?

Love, Faith and Understanding

Who was your favorite character and why?

Francis, all you need to do is open you eye's and see the good everything he brings to life.

Which character – as performed by Tanya Eby – was your favorite?

Magdelaine so strong and willing to do anything to reach and help those she loves. Asking for nothing, Wants only the best for her family, and looking after all these years of raising a child on her own, she stands for a lot of us women that endured what she did and still standing today.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, and I went to bed with tears after reading it. Good and bad.

Any additional comments?

This will bring real life to your door steps. It's not what you expected, but neither is life. To many times we get caught up in books that take us far away from this. But then we need to see how people handle what we deal with almost everyday. Sometimes I think people that are larger than life are out of touch with reality. After this, I don't think so. It's happened to us all. This is a A teenager out to show you she knows it all, a hard working single mother and a the father showing up when he don't want to be a part of his home town life, and his brother, all smiles and willing to do anything to bring it all in front of their eyes. And he does. . Expect your emotions to be torn here, bring out tissues and all of us has been thru this. the way it's narrated was so remarkable, it helped me at least understand why everyone did was needed at the time and what they had to in this family. All families deal with trauma that leaves us with life altering decisions. It's all here, hate,love, understanding and mostly sacrifice. I loved this book and I cried many times knowing it hurt to lose someone you care so deeply for. But in the end we are given something more in return. They never leave us..They see us thru so much in a round about way. Read it. It's worth it.. I promise you. it's worth it and cry and enjoy this little book of wondrous joy it brings. I warned you.. it's excellent to read, but bring out the tissue box. It's life they are dealing with. What we experience day to day at times. I would of gave it 5 stars, but at times, I think it should of just moved on. I cried for them to heal and they should of earlier.

Incredibly Written Story With One Exception...

Kristin Hannah is such a gifted writer. She really know how to use the perfect words to put you right INTO the story. I was initially disappointed in her choice of "donors", I thought it was a little too trite - not her style. However, after listen to the rest of the story, I understood why she did that. I must confessed...I bawled my eyes out. It was just so real - I couldn't help myself. She made me remember two very recent losses in my life and uncovered feeling I thought I had already processed. Judging from the amount of tissues I went through...apparently not.
Great narration work by Tanya Eby, too. Her tone of voice added so much substance to the experience. She gave an excellent performance.
