Classic literature it is not; it is storytelling in its most abreviated form...this collection will appeal to the romantic. Including the genuinely moving and the merely maudlin, this latest bowl of Chicken Soup is sure to have something for everyone.
The audiobook includes the unabridged version of some Katherine Mansfield's stories and the extract from "The Forsyte Saga" by John Galsworthy. Read by Cora McDonald.
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare’s passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger’s cinematic storytelling that makes the novel’s unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.
