This was a Wonderful read!

I enjoy clean language narratives that are clever and layered without reverting to off color themes and descriptions! I will invest in other Heyer books!
The reason I gave it only 3 stars and not 4 is because it was memorably tedious in places. That being said I adored the story wholistically; the time period, characters, story line, conflict, and ending! Glad to discover Heyer!

Historia
Miss Pettigrew is a down-on-her-luck, middle-aged governess sent by her employment agency to work for a nightclub singer rather than a household of unruly children. Over a period of 24 hours, as she becomes caught up in the life of Delysia LaFloss, her own life is changed - forever. This charming, funny, light-hearted 1938 novel was a bestseller on its first appearance. Read by Academy Award winning actress Frances McDormand, who stars in the 2008 film as Miss Pettigrew.

Historia
Man’s Search for Meaning is the chilling yet inspirational story of Viktor Frankl’s struggle to hold on to hope during the unspeakable horrors of his years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.

Thank you Mr. Frankl for sharing your innermost pain and shame using your expert literary, philological and theological talents. I am encouraged, strengthened and guided to higher plains through your transparency. Indebted.

Wow! Larger Than Life!
Revisado: 02-12-12
I loved this read! The adept storytelling, the grand improbable scenarios and the descriptive settings gripped me! I was reminded of Forrest Gump, however, instead of a learning disability, our central character is acuminous.
So enjoyable! Bryce Courtenay could have taken me anywhere with his mesmerizing pen! I could not stop thinking of this wild tale long after it was told. Bravo!
Expertly narrated.
