colls 's review for:
The German Wife
by Kelly Rimmer
challenging
emotional
sad
tense
slow-paced
This is a case where my personal reaction to this book is influenced by the medium in which I've "read" it.
I say that because while I enjoyed so many things about this book, the focus on the women and their various relationships with friends and family in particular, I found the audiobook was too long for my taste. It made it feel like the story was dragging on and it expanded the time spent in the narrative where both women were in very stressful situations. Listening to audiobooks is supposed to be a stress relief for me - so you could say it backfired on that front. The narrators were both fine, although I'm uncertain if I found the narrator for Lizzie's sections mildly annoying because of the narrator or the character.
I think I would've enjoyed this more had I read a hard-copy or eBook version.
