Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,610
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

I loved this book!

I loved this book. You fall in love with the characters and the premise is really good. It makes you think about what you'd do...or not do, if you knew when and how you were to die...whether you believe in psychic predictions or not. The Narration is some of the best! They are fabulous, both narrators. I wish Liane Moriarty could write ten books a year. I've loved all her stories (some more than others but enjoyed them all).

Sunday Forrester lives with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Dolly, in the house she grew up in. She does things more carefully than most people. On quiet days, she must eat only white foods. Her etiquette handbook guides her through confusing social situations, and to escape, she turns to her treasury of Sicilian folklore. The one thing very much out of her control is clever headstrong Dolly, now on the cusp of leaving home. Into this carefully ordered world step Vita and Rollo, a couple who move in next door.

It’s so amazing this was written by a first time author and one that is autistic. The narration was so great! I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much without the fabulous narration.

Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in the history of popular music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career.

Fabulous! Just like she is
Reviewed: 02-19-24
Everything Barbra does is extraordinary. Add writing her autobiography to her list of award worthy talents. The best part was that she didn't really "read" it - she "told" us stories about her life and her experiences. I have always felt that her singing was in a stratosphere no one else has come close to, but learning about all the work she put into her movies and shows enlightened me to so many more things she is gifted at. Thank you Barbra, for sharing your life with us.

Elegy plus comedy is the only way to express how we live in the world today, says a character in Sigrid Nunez’s ninth novel. The Vulnerables offers a meditation on our contemporary era, as a solitary female narrator asks what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the way a person looks back on her past.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes best-selling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

The stupidest book ever
Reviewed: 08-23-23
This was a book club assignment or I would have abandoned it after the first 5 pages. It is such a stupid story and the writing so annoying that it made me mad to think the author will make lots of money off this junk. Don’t waste your time.The narrator, Julia Whelan is top notch. She is one of my favorite narrators.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

I don’t get all the positive reviews. The story was contrived and maybe if you’re a catholic (I am not) you will enjoy and relate to the whole religious theme. I was looking for a good story and this one didn’t do anything for me.

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

I don't get all the hype about this book. The story is depressing and goes on and on and the only character I cared about was Big Ammachi. Yes, I learned about India. Other reviewers found his narration wonderful - I found it hard to understand and didn't like his voices or dramatization.
