Reseñas de la Crítica

Narrators Kelli O’Hara and Steven Pasquale bring out the beautiful simplicity of this love story about a photographer who shows up in a small town in the Midwest and meets a married woman. As the narrators alternate chapters, both offer performances that reflect the natural development of the love affair that develops. The gentle narration keeps the story focused on themes of self-fulfillment and true love, rather than on issues of morality. O’Hara and Pasquale complement each other’s performance with consistent renditions of Richard’s steady speech, reflecting his contemplative nature, and the foreign-born Francesca’s slight accent and soft voice. The dual narration adds to the effectiveness of this quietly stirring romance." (AudioFile magazine)

"An erotic, bittersweet tale of lingering memories and forsaken possibilities." (Publishers Weekly)

It was meh

It was a lot shorter than the other audiobooks I have, 4-5 hours. It was kind of boring in the beginning and I thought I had purchased the wrong book because of the way the first chapter started combined with the narrators voice. I thought it was just okay honestly.

Interesting

This is my mothers favorite book. I really liked it. It was good. Might listen again.

Loved this story

I watched the movie once or twice many years ago. I loved this book as much as I loved the movie. The narration was wonderful, and it was easy to picture them while listening.

great book

I loved it this time as much as I have every other time I've listened to it. One of the few books that I've listened to several time.

Wonderful

When is the most moving and beautiful love stories I’ve ever read. A must read

Unbelievable

You’ll understand magic a little better after listening to this book. So much magic, passion, love, stardust and responsibility. Cried so hard. Strongly recommend it!

Captivating story!

Loved the story and the passion and simplicity of the characters! I could listen to the story over and over and never tire of it!

Like a beautiful photograph

Just like its subject matter, this book or, better yet, novella leaves you thinking of it like a beautiful photograph, yearning to learn more about its subject. It is written with gorgeous, lyrical prose. The two main characters are incredibly human. I wish that the author did describe the bridges a bit more - which have become the iconic remainder landmark of this book's output.

I was super excited that the narrators are the original Broadway cast members of the new musical version of the story. Both Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale are incredibly talented. All we are missing here is hearing them sing. I'm going to go listen to the cast recording next. :-)

Love

When I think of what love is, I think of the contents of this book. I could listen to this book every day and never get tired of it. It speaks to me in a way that no other love story ever has.

if you need to remember that magic exists

One of the best stories I've ever heard. So real, so painful, so beautiful. It is more than about love and love's many forms I think, and mostly touched me on a transcended level I'm not sure many people can let themselves get to. If you can be free, even if just for the time you are reading this book, it will change you.
