janeycanuck I really enjoyed parts 1-3. 4 didn‘t quite do it for me though. I didn‘t like how we went from everything being anchored in Hadia‘s wedding to first-person from Rafiq‘s POV. But I loved 1-3, the story was so complicated and layered, it just sucked me right in. 6y

AnneCecilie Part 3 left me in tears more than once. For me everything came together in part 4, with the father‘s POV. I didn‘t know I was missing it until that point. Suddenly I saw everything in a new light, proving once again that there‘s at least two sides to every story @janeycanuck 6y

janeycanuck @AnneCecilie yeah, I‘m not sure I saw things differently enough to warrant the drastic change? Things like that are often lost on me, I like my stories nice & tidy with a big ol‘ bow stuck on them at the end 🤪 6y

LitsyBuddyRead From @Currey : “It was rather shocking to me to flip from the daughter‘s and mother‘s perspective to the father‘s. I did not like him right up until I heard his story in his own voice. Incredibly sad that these people living together seemed to know so little about the deeper emotions each of them had. Glad 5e daughter was able to have a life of her own choosing though” - moving your comment here to the discussion post. :-) 6y

LitsyBuddyRead @janeycanuck @AnneCecilie - see the new comment from @Currey above 👆🏼 6y

Currey Thank you for moving my comment 6y

AnneCecilie @Currey I couldn‘t have agreed with you more. All the missed opportunities because of bad communication and family patterns they never managed to change. @janeycanuck (edited) 6y

Currey @AnneCecilie Exactly. I felt the beauty of the book was that it didn‘t irritate me throughout the reading, it just hit me over the head as I finished. 6y

kspenmoll @LitsyBuddyRead Having the ending be the father‘s voice & perspective helped me have sympathy for him. The relationship he had with his son was so tragic. I too did not like him much although I felt his religion was his structure & belief system & his son‘s ambivalence/rejection of that path hurt him. For his son, losing his best friend/ anchor devastated him & changed the trajectory of his life. 6y

kspenmoll I loved the phone relationship the son had with his sister‘s son, his nephew. 6y

Currey @kspenmoll Yes, I liked that also, it seemed to represent some hope 6y

GatheringBooks @janeycanuck i share your sentiments here. i felt that it was just needlessly repetitive and overly saturated. 6y

janeycanuck @GatheringBooks I get what people are saying about not liking the father until part 4 - I think for those folks, all of 4 was necessary. But I liked him - or at least understood things were more complicated than they seemed so a lot of 4 did feel repetitive to me, too. 6y

Amazing courage, determination, and intelligence to make her way out of North Korea. A very intense read. This pic is from the author‘s 2013 TED Talk. I watched it on YouTube. I highly recommend the book. 4/5⭐️s

Fen | Daisy Johnson

Only two episodes into the new podcast "LeVar Burton Reads," and I'm already loving. LeVar brings his passion for the written word into his reading, and the production quality is top notch. The second episode "The Lighthouse Keeper" by Daisy Johnson was an intriguing story. I'm looking forward to future stories. #LeVarBurtonReads #LBR #podcast #shortstories

WordWaller Oh!! I need to listen to this! 8y
