Acerca de esta escucha

From the award-winning author of Mistress of Spices, the best-selling novel about the extraordinary bond between two women, and the family secrets and romantic jealousies that threaten to tear them apart.

Anju is the daughter of an upper-caste Calcutta family of distinction. Her cousin Sudha is the daughter of the black sheep of that same family. Sudha is startlingly beautiful; Anju is not. Despite those differences, since the day on which the two girls were born, the same day their fathers died - mysteriously and violently - Sudha and Anju have been sisters of the heart. Bonded in ways even their mothers cannot comprehend, the two girls grow into womanhood as if their fates as well as their hearts were merged.

But when Sudha learns a dark family secret, that connection is shattered. For the first time in their lives, the girls know what it is to feel suspicion and distrust. Urged into arranged marriages, Sudha and Anju's lives take opposite turns. Sudha becomes the dutiful daughter-in-law of a rigid small-town household. Anju goes to America with her new husband and learns to live her own life of secrets. When tragedy strikes each of them, however, they discover that despite distance and marriage, they have only each other to turn to.

Set in the two worlds of San Francisco and India, this exceptionally moving novel tells a story at once familiar and exotic, seducing listeners from the first minute with the lush prose we have come to expect from Divakaruni. Sister of My Heart is a novel destined to become as widely beloved as it is acclaimed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An inspired and imaginative raconteur, Divakaruni is sure to engender comparisons with Arundhati Roy ( The God of Small Things), but Divakaruni's novel stands in its own right as a compelling read." ( Publishers Weekly)

I Love the bond between the two main characters!!!

I loved the story overall. I enjoyed the relationship between the two cousins/sisters and the stories that began in their childhood and progressed into their adult lives. I listened to this book in one week because I kept listening whenever I had a chance. At times I was saying out loud to the characters “yes!!”” Or “noooo!!!” “GOOD for you!” I got invested in their decisions! Thats the sign of a good book in my opinion! I cared about them and what happened with them both! I also enjoy all the descriptions of their lives growing up in India and the stories, practices and beliefs that were/are common in India some decades ago. I enjoyed the performer’s work as well. She read with such emotion when appropriate and changed her voice to help listeners follow who was talking. I highly recommend this book!!!

SISTER OF MY HEART - WONDERFUL BOOK

If you could sum up Sister of My Heart in three words, what would they be?

Exceptionally moving and a passionate novel about the bond between two women, and the jealousies, loves, and family histories that threaten to tear them apart. I could not stop listening.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love all the books that Julia Whelan narrates. That is how i found Sister of my heart.

Slow start

Characters were likable and fairly well developed. Although the ending was not a surprise it was well-done. Some parts moved slowly and others I wish were longer.

Best story ever

This author is amazing. Two books I’ve ‘read’ so far by the author and I’ve really enjoyed them both.

Wonderful Book

Loved the story. Loved the performance. Perhaps the native words could have been spoken by a native speaker.

Amazing story and performance

Thank you so much for this amazing book.

The book was woven with Chitra Banerjees usual unfailing, understanding of the human heart and she has again created real and complex characters.
The protagonists are utterly real to me, as if they are people I’ve known and my heart opened and closed throughout the book with their joys and sorrows as they came.
I love her understanding of the human condition with her focus on what women, even today, endure.

Read this book! You won’t regret it

Irresistible

This story is beautiful. A very powerful novel about women, life, and love. I would recommend this book to the hopeless romantic and the realist alike. It is portrayed from two different points of view so the reader really gets to be encaptured by the story. The narrator's voice is also very fitting and soothing.

Not a fan of the narration

The story is great and captivating. The narration is something left to be desired. It was hard for me, being Indian myself, to listen to someone pronounce names, and Hindi words incorrectly. I think if I listened to this book back when it was published in 2000, it wouldn’t have bothered me so much. However, now with more people of Indian decent in mainstream media being the norm and listening to other narrators speak the accents and words so eloquently this narration just seems disingenuous.
