Acerca de esta escucha

A Hollywood legend. A legacy of secrets. An epic and emotional novel about forgiveness, fame, family, and truly unconditional love by the bestselling author of When We Were Enemies.

Christie’s auction house, Beverly Hills. The effects of Hollywood icon Vivian Snow are up for bid. In the collection is a set of hand-drawn postcards spanning six decades. The sender is Antonio Trombello, a soldier, POW, priest, and Vivian’s confidant. Each postcard sheds new light on a deeply private woman the public only thinks it knows.

It’s World War II. Vivian is a USO showgirl traveling the world when her husband goes AWOL, disappears, and is presumed dead. Facing increasing suspicion, she leans on her dear friend Father Trombello for support. He’s her confessor, her savior, the elusive love of her life, and when it comes to her husband’s death, the keeper of Vivian’s secrets.

As Vivian rises from canteen dream girl to starlet to bona fide legend, she navigates the highs and lows of Hollywood, new romances, and tumultuous family relationships—all in the shadow of her past and the guilt, unmet longing, and buried truths that could still upend the lives of everyone she loves.

Very confusing

I honestly wanted to like this book, but it was just very confusing and disappointing. I wanted so much more from the Antonio storyline, so the end just frustrated me. In the end, it was very depressing. Too many marriages, too much mental illness, too much everything. The narrator spoke very good Italian, but a strong Canadian accent (I guess) spoiled the reading for me. Just messy.

From sorrow to sadness and back again

When We Chased the Light by Emily Bleeker follows the life of Vivian Snow, from her days as a USO girl to her rise as a Hollywood legend and into her later years.

Oh my word. Unfortunately, this one nearly put me in a reading slump. Without giving too much away, it moves from sadness to sorrow and back again. As someone who enjoys at least a glimmer of happiness amid heavy themes, this just wasn’t for me.

That said, everyone’s reading tastes are different, so I wanted to share my perspective for those considering it. If you enjoy deeply emotional, somber narratives, this might be right up your alley—but if you need moments of lightness, you might want to pass.
