Acerca de esta escucha
From Helen Bryan, bestselling author of War Brides, The Sisterhood, and The Valley, comes the second book in an epic trilogy told from multiple viewpoints - a story about the resilience, bravery, love, and unity that formed the foundation of the New World.
The frontier of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 1783. In the years since the first settlers arrived, looking to build new lives, the township of Grafton has flourished. Together, European immigrants, Native Americans, indentured servants, and former slaves have established a tight-knit community.
As time passes and America becomes a nation, Grafton is swept up in the tumult of the outside world. The Cherokees are rounded up and driven west. The Civil War leaves a long shadow. Newcomers make their mark, fortunes are won and lost, and loyalties are tested in the march of history.

Historia
As war moves ever closer, the sleepy English village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. The nightly German air raids become grimly mundane. Rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge a bond of friendship that will change their lives forever in this engrossing novel of loyalty, loss, and love in the shadow of World War II.With the hardships of war intensifying every day, the women band together to defeat formidable enemies and find remarkable strength within themselves to help one another. It is a war-forged loyalty certain to endure years and distance. When four of the women return for a celebration fifty years later, their mission is not simply to commemorate or remember. They’ve returned to confront a traitor whose actions cost countless lives — and to avenge one of their own at last.

Reeling from a broken engagement, adopted 19-year-old Menina Walker flees to Spain to bury her misery by writing her overdue college thesis - and soon finds herself on an unexpected journey into the past. The subject of her study is Tristan Mendoza, an obscure 16th-century artist whose signature includes a tiny swallow - the same swallow depicted on a medal that is Menina’s only link to her birth family. Hoping her research will reveal the swallow’s significance and clue her in to her origins, Menina discovers the ancient chronicle of a Spanish convent containing the stories of five orphaned girls hidden from the Spanish Inquisition.

Leading a small army of slaves, Nat Turner was a man born with a mission: to set the captives free. When words failed, he ignited an uprising that left over 50 whites dead. In the predawn hours of August 22, 1831, Nat Turner stormed into history with a Bible in one hand, brandishing a sword in the other. His rebellion shined a spotlight on slavery and the state of Virginia and divided a nation's trust. Turner himself became a lightning rod for abolitionists like Harriet Beecher Stowe and a terror and secret shame for slave owners.

Read The Valley first!
As this is the second book of a trilogy it is best you read the first book to have a good context of characters and differing families. However, I found it difficult to follow the many family lines as it moved along through generations. Some main characters endings were not clear. That said I will listen to the final book of this trilogy, although maybe reading this series might make it easier to follow the characters, families and time line.

Very vivid and historic
I felt as I was in the pages along with the characters. It was like reading someone’s diary over many centuries excellent book on a woman’s perspective of all the trials and errors to get to where we are today.

Too many time hops!
Being book 2 of The Valley, this book continued the families of Grafton's life. I love reading historical fictions of America during this time. The time period would take huge leaps at a time cutting out significant story lines. By the last few chapters, I found myself trying to figure out who the characters were more than focusing on the story. It was very frustrating to finally figure out a character's identity and then have to skip back 10 chapters and re-read so I could apply the character's background. This happened quite a bit in Book 2 where as Book 1 was not nearly as "time-hopping". So much could have been written about during the time skips. Overall I was disappointed with this one.

So many missed opportunities
While there were moments if good storytelling, I could not get invested in the ever changing characters.

confusing with jumps in time
While I like this story overall and time period, the jumps in time make it very hard to keep up with. There are so many characters and trying to remember who is related to who is very confusing. Just like the first book I think this could have been expanded into 3 separate novels. It would have made it easier to follow the characters. Some characters you may hear about in a few chapters then several chapters later there is a fleeting mention of them and you are trying to remember who they are and how they are related. Maybe book three will be better??

An Excellent 2nd Installment
My first review for “The Valley” was sent by accident, before I finished it. So, I will summarize my review for both volumes 1 and 2 here.
First, the narration is spot on. Ms. Reading is a favorite of mine. She read the men and women differently, and performed the various Southern accents well.
The story in the Valley was a bit easier to follow, since there were less characters, until the last quarter of the story. This volume was more complex to follow auditorily. I had to rewind and make a mental family tree to try to follow each family’s line of descendants.
I wonder if there is a printed family tree in the books?
The characters are rich, and their lives greatly intertwined. The author’s note at the end of this story is quite intriguing, and explains how she came up with her idea to write the trilogy.
I am always drawn in when an author so richly describes life in a different time period so accurately and with great emotion. I am so very grateful that I live in our current time period, being a woman and an educator. Life was so very hard in the early days of our great country! The first 2 books move from the early 1700’s to the late 1800’s in a fictional valley in Virginia. I am so thankful for those hardy souls who survived to keep us moving forward...so that when my grandparents came from Italy in the early 1900’s, there was still a place of possibility here to build new memories. I look forward to the 3rd installment of this trilogy!

The Mountain by Helen Bryan
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes history. So much time is given to accuracy that you feel immersed in the lives of which this book takes you. Highly recommend. Thank-you.

A family history, little story.
boring, no real story. Difficult to follow multiple generations with little tie to their story or year.
