This was not the feel good story that I was hoping for. "HOPE" is all that Hodel and Perchik have.
This is a story that creates a lot of emotion. I felt the bitter bitter cold. I gasp right out loud during some of the more gruesome scenes (there are a few). I felt the love between Hodel and Perchik. That love is what kept me going to the end.
Thanks to netgalley and Pegasus Books for this advanced readers copy.

We got this audible original since it had to do with musicals, and we love musicals. However, it wasn't exactly what I expected but also wasn't totally disappointing. This was a performance the author gave live explaining the story and incorporating songs into her performance. It wasn't a full reading of the book, which is what I expected. But we got the backstory of the book and songs she may have wanted to incorporate. Really all it did was make me want to read the actual book she wrote. It also got me interested in the idea of musical fan fiction, and why there isn't more of it!

I did not really know what to expect when I went into this listening/book/performance, but it was gorgeous and transformative. I'm very interested in the book it was about, as well as the musical even more. I think it was gorgeously presented, backgrounded, and the singing was truly gorgeous.

This is a short program revolving around Silber's book, After Anatevka, which she wrote while playing one of the daughter characters in Fiddler on the Roof. Apparently, After Anatevka aims to continue the story of Tevye's second daughter, Hodel, after the scene in FIddler when she leaves on the train with her radical non-believing husband, Perchik. This Audible production consists of Silber reading excerpts from her novel and some performances of songs from Fiddler and original songs based on Silber's novel. I love Fiddler on the Roof but admit to not being terribly curious about what happened to Hodel and Perchik. I might be more intrigued if After Anatevka sounded like a marvelous book, but the excerpts indicate awkward writing and fairly derivative fanfic. I will add I liked but did not love the songs in this production which are not from Fiddler itself. Two stars off because even this very short production felt much too long to me.

Well, I'm a blubbering mess. This performance is beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this "cabaret style book reading". The story seems well thought out and the original music written for the audible performance was beautiful. Fans of Fiddler on the Roof will truly enjoy this.
