Loved it All Over Again

Wedding Ring was a reread for me, and I am so pleased I chose to do so by the audiobook version. I loved it the first time I read it, and totally fell in love with the characters and story line all over again as I listened to it. To be honest I had forgotten many details of the story - I just carried the general feel of the story with me. Now I have a refreshed memory of it!

Isabel Keating does a fabulous job in the narration. I loved her Helen voice and the way she just totally brought her to life for me. Whenever I thought of this book I remembered the opening scene when Helen was holed up in her house and her daughter Nancy and grand daughter Tessa were trying to get in. Wonderful scene.

The story follows the lives of these three remarkable women. We are taken back in time to Helen's early life and see where she came from and her joys and sorrows. We are also taken back in time to Nancy's earlier times too.

As the story develops changes happen for all three women, and they are bonded together in ways they would not have thought of earlier.

It is with this series I began my obsession with quilting, Helen is an expert quilter and I just wish she was a real live actual person and I'd love to go see her quilts. I loved the way her daughter Nancy, helped her see the value in what she had done.

In short - love, love, loved it all. Guess who will be revisiting the whole series via audiobook!

New favorite author added to the list!

This was my first experience with the author. She did not disappoint. I loved the southern accents, the different character voices, the story was compelling and drew me right in. I’ve already downloaded another one!

Outstanding

Stellar in every way and beautifully narrated. If you grew up in the South, you most likely knew a grandma Helen!

Delightful

I’m a quilter, so of course this storyline is pleasing for me. But I also loved the family interactions!

I tried, but I struggled

Emilie Richards has great reviews. However I struggled with how the pace of the plot was slowly unfolding. Perhaps the details about the quilting world were a bit much for me. Yet, Richards is still a great writer but this one was not exactly my favorite.

Another great one!

Tessa is an awesome character in the book! She gets re-connected with life and her family. The story was great and I loved the setting in the old country!! Will listen again. The narration is super wonderful - I like Isabel Keating! Keep using her narration Emilie!!
