Love this writer and I hope we have more to follow. Anna O is the book that caught my attention and I like the fact that there are so many twists and turns!

Good easy listen, which flowed between past and present. It left you wanting to get to know more about the characters.

The theme of recovering lost memories was interesting, and I became a bit involved with Olivia's story, but the endless time frame changes made occurrences and views of the characters very repetitive and muddling to me as a listener. Maybe it would be better in book form. I couldn't always understand who all the characters were or understand the heavy French accents. Not for me I'm afraid.
