Resumen del Editor
Four generations. One remarkable hotel. Countless secrets.
Nestled in the hills of West Virginia lies White Sulphur Springs, home to the Greenbrier Resort. Long a playground for presidents and film stars, the Greenbrier has its own gravitational pull. Over ten decades, four generations of the Zelner family must grapple with their place in its shadow . . . and within their own family.
In 1942, young mother Sylvia is desperate to escape her stifling marriage, especially when it means co-running Zelner’s general store with her husband. When the Greenbrier is commandeered for use as a luxury prison, Sylvia finds her fidelity strained and her heart on the line.
Seventeen years later, Sylvia’s daughter, Doree, struggles to fit in, eagerly awaiting the day she’ll leave for college and meet a nice Jewish boy. But when a handsome stranger comes to town and her brother Alan’s curiosity puts him and Sylvia at risk, Doree is torn between loyalty and desire.
An immersive family saga rich with historical detail, In the Shadow of the Greenbrier explores the inevitable clash between past and future and the extraordinary moments in ordinary lives.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“A stirring coming-of-age tale and gripping family saga set against the backdrop of the famous and historic West Virginia resort. Readers will eagerly follow and root for the generations of the Zelner family as they struggle with their places in a changing world and come face-to-face with dark secrets of the past in this memorable and moving book.”—Pam Jenoff, author of Code Name Sapphire
“Matchar’s debut novel is a richly layered and beautifully written tale that immerses the reader into a sweeping saga set in the picturesque backdrop of the lush West Virginia mountains’ legendary Greenbrier resort, and its fascinating, secret history. Utterly captivating, In The Shadow of The Greenbrier is unforgettable."—Kim Michele Richardson, author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek
“Emily Matchar brings the iconic Greenbrier Hotel to vivid life through the engaging, heartbreaking, and often harrowing experiences of four generations.”—Diane Chamberlain, author of The Last House on the Street

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The Clotilda, the last slave ship to land on American soil, docked in Mobile Bay, Alabama, in July 1860—more than half a century after the passage of a federal law banning the importation of captive Africans, and nine months before the beginning of the Civil War. The last of its survivors lived well into the twentieth century. They were the last witnesses to the final act of a terrible and significant period in world history. In this epic work, Dr. Hannah Durkin tells the stories of the Clotilda’s 110 captives, drawing on her intensive archival, historical, and sociological research.

Historia
The Clotilda, the last slave ship to land on American soil, docked in Mobile Bay, Alabama, in July 1860—more than half a century after the passage of a federal law banning the importation of captive Africans, and nine months before the beginning of the Civil War. The last of its survivors lived well into the twentieth century. They were the last witnesses to the final act of a terrible and significant period in world history. In this epic work, Dr. Hannah Durkin tells the stories of the Clotilda’s 110 captives, drawing on her intensive archival, historical, and sociological research.

Left longing for more about the government
I wanted more info on the government secrets. Is it still in use? Just how much $$ did taxpayers spend on a facility to save only government employees.

The story was informative about the time and the history of the Greenbrier. I wanted to find out more information after reading the book. The characters became real and I think about them after listening to the story.

Too Difficult to Follow
This book jumped around quite a bit. I’m one that I love to follow an interesting story story, but it felt choppy throughout the abrupt ending Didn’t matters.

Terrific read
The characters are captivating, the history is so clearly drawn and placed at the foundation of the story. The author’s facility with language made this great - precise and careful. Once I got started I didn’t want to stop. (The narrator overdid it with accents, but I think that about most audio books.)

Genuine depiction of characters
I have enjoyed the superb narration by Gili Messer who once again, has brought to life the protagonists, their traits including language & dialects . The story of Jews in Appalachia is unique. It sheds light on an era bygone.

I remember when the story about the hidden bunker broke in 1992
I loved this story with one caveat; Toggling back and forth between three characters and time periods was difficult to follow. I wish we didn’t have that trend and could just follow a story chronologically from start to finish.

Beautiful story & setting! Loved it!
Im a local WV lady who lives close to the Greenbrier and I’ve been lucky enough to visit for special occasions. The due diligence of the author, absolutely paints, the picture of the historic Greenbrier. if you’ve never looked up pictures, I think it would enhance you’re listening listening experience to see the opulence and unique decor by Dorothy Draper.
I absolutely loved the story line that allowed us such a unique family story that included a Jewish heritage family in rural Appalachia through the years.
I remember the Washington Post story about the bunker being exposed and declassified and this story helped build an alternate fictional tale that fit perfectly to the storyline.
I’m quite proud of being local to this area of West Virginia. I may be biased in my opinion of this book because of my experiences in the area but I do feel the author captured the essence of rural Appalachia with an interesting family story in the grand setting of the Greenbrier! I highly recommend.
