Acerca de esta escucha

Two women, generations apart, in the spotlight. A powerful novel about family secrets, devastating choices, and hope for the future by the bestselling author of When I’m Gone.

Camera-shy Elise Branson is different from the other women in her maternal line. Her mother is an award-winning actress. Her late grandmother, Vivian Snow, is a beloved Hollywood icon. But when Elise’s upcoming wedding coincides with a documentary being made about Vivian, Elise can’t escape the camera’s gaze. And neither can her grandmother, even in death.

It’s 1943 when Vivian, a small-town Indiana girl, lends her home front support to the war effort. As a translator in the nearby Italian POW camp, she’s invaluable. As a celebrated singer for the USO, she lifts men’s spirits and falls in love with a soldier. But behind this all-American love story is a shocking secret—one that is vital to keep buried if Vivian is to achieve the fame and fortune she covets.

For Elise and Vivian, what’s hidden—and what’s exposed—threatens to unravel their lives. The heart-wrenching choices they must make will change them both forever.

The factual nature of the location.

I loved the book. I hated for it to end! Not sure why this review has to be a 15 word minimum!

Women

The story shows what a difference between how women were treated back in 1943 vs today.

Two generations of women find their way in love and life

I enjoyed the alternating chapters covering a woman in current times and her actress/singer grandmother two generations earlier. There’s a depth to the content of their lives in setting and their emotional journeys. Lots of unexpected twists. Recommended!

Dragged

I tried to stick it out but it dragged and was boring. Hung in there for 9 chapters.

Love; Happily Ever After?

The beginning and middle was dragging and I really didn't enenjoy the book until the last 6 chapters.

It's four love stories, told by two different women. Vivian narrates her life during WW II era and Elise, her granddaughter, depicts hers from current day.

It's about choices made and the consequences of them. It just took too long to get the consequences.

amazing

The narrators did a great job. I was captivated by the story and it kept me entertained. I listen in the car most of the time and wished I was on a long road trip so I didn't have to stop listening. I really enjoyed Vivian's storyline and the twist at the end was unexpected but a wonderful surprise. I also like how Elise's storyline resolved.

My Musings

Wow, just wow! This book kept me glued to the story from start to finish. The characters are complex and the plot riveting. It flows seamlessly from 1943 to present day. The historical setting is one I knew nothing about, and I found it fascinating. A very happy reader and listener!
