The Wild Rose

De: Jennifer Donnelly

Narrado por: Jill Tanner

The Wild Rose is a part of the sweeping, multigenerational saga that began with The Tea Rose and continued with The Winter Rose.

It is London, 1914. World War I looms on the horizon, women are fighting for the right to vote, and explorers are pushing the limits of endurance in the most forbidding corners of the earth. Into this volatile time, Jennifer Donnelly places her vivid and memorable characters: Willa Alden, a passionate mountain climber who lost her leg while summiting Kilimanjaro with Seamus Finnegan and will never forgive him for saving her life; Finnegan, a polar explorer who tries to forget Willa as he marries a beautiful young schoolteacher back home in England; Max von Brandt, a handsome German sophisticate who courts high society women, but has a secret agenda in wartime London. Many other beloved characters from The Winter Rose continue their adventures in The Wild Rose as well.

With myriad twists and turns, thrilling cliffhangers, and fabulous period detail and atmosphere, The Wild Rose provides a highly satisfying conclusion to an unforgettable trilogy.

Loved the entire series!!!!

This is a great listen, as are the two previous books in the series, with all it's machinations.
The characters are well developed so that you can not help but root for them at every turn and misfortune. The ending of this one is somewhat unrealistic, but certainly does nothing to distract the listener from enjoying all 3 books.
Jill Tanner's narration is simply wonderful. She brings the characters & the story to life.
I could listen to her forever!!!! I will now search for more books in which she is does the narration.
Don't hesitate to buy the series if you like entertaining and imaginative, historical novels, but you must read it in the order it was written.

Love this series

Jennifer Donnelly can tell a wonderful story full of twists and turns to keep you guess. My favorite part..... true love!

The perfect ending

I had a little trouble getting into this one, but this one had so.e politics in it and I dont like politics, but the story was just as wonderful as the other two books and it had the perfect ending. The author did wrap it up in a pretty little bow, but it was a thrilling journey to get there. And it turns out that this is what you want for the characters, they've had it so hard and now I feel like I'm leaving them in a good place, a place to heal and grow. Thank you Jennifer Donnelly for this trilogy.

Great Trilogy

I fell in love with these characters and was very sad to say goodbye. I really liked how one book flowed right into the other. the plot was well developed, with lots of twists and turns. The characters were people I would know when I met them and most I would like to get to know better! highly recommend all three books!

Terrific Series

I enjoyed all three books in this series and am sad to reach the end. engaging characters, historical references, loved it all.

Lacking a little connection with a main character

This book was not as strong as the other two for me, but still a wonderful read! I just didn't connect with Willa. The narration is unbelievable!

The Best of the Series!

Great storytelling! Love described in every level. Heart wretching, adventurous, and heart warming, throughly enjoyed this book and the series.

Perfect ending as always.

I love the Jennifer Donnelly Rose books. Jill Tanner brings them to life in a whole new way. I am so obsessed with the characters and so in love with the feelings these books bring.
