This audiobook really was an emotional rollercoaster.
I absolutely loved the following of this friendship, it really shows you the depths and the highs and the lows everyone can experience. I think because of the time period it covers too it’s a really strong sense of equality between men and women, particularly in their relationships and career and how people can do it different ways.
The story is narrated so well! I really felt the different characters and had no difficulty knowing who was who, it’s really well done. It’s written incredibly too, the part where she is told about her mother during the war was just heartbreaking and I felt like I was going through that same conversation with the character, just truly so well done.
Each of the characters has so much depth to them as well, the end is truly heartbreaking (along with many heartbreaking stories along the way). I think for me it could with more around the kids as they are growing up and what they are doing with their lives and that would make it 5 starts but I completely get why the focus remains on the parents.
I highly recommend.
