This beautiful book recounts the interrelated stories of four generations of a Jewish family in the United States ranging from the early 1900s to 1992. It features alternating perspectives and time periods, a narrative device that is often confusing in other books. Not here. Each character was so well developed that with each change in time, I was instantly engaged in the story of the protagonist of that segment. The lives of the four people - Sol, Sylvia, Dorris and Jordan - are convincing portrayed as the mystery at the heart of the book is gradually revealed. The narration was very good and the overall story was compelling. A terrific debut novel by a very talented writer.

I have listened to all the Maisie Dobbs books. I am always amazed at how effectively the author combines a compelling heroine, an intriguing mystery and authentic historical detail. All the books are terrific and with each one the cast of characters grow over time. Each book is excellent on its own but I would highly recommend starting at the beginning as Maisie’s life unfolds over a period of close to 30 years in the books. Maisie Dobbs is a truly unique woman. This latest instalment is one of the best. I love the Maisie Dobbs series. The narrator is perfect.

The narrator is fantastic. Although I enjoyed this final book of the trilogy, I felt it was not quite as good as the other two. A bit too many battle scenes for me.

captivating story recounted by the extraordinary and versatile Humphrey Bower. I was a bit wary at first because I was afraid that the book may be anti-Semitic.I am still not sure but I couldn't stop listening. I am about to start on the second book of the trilogy this afternoon.
