A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows by Diana Gabaldon
4.0
This novella had intrigue and humor, and as expected by Diana Gabaldon and appreciated by me, contains history. Well-researched.
The television series has made me forget if I ever liked the character of Roger as described in the books, so I wasn't sure I cared about Roger's parents' backstory. But I did!
This quick read/listen contains realistic and humorous depictions of marriage. I laughed during one of the intimate scenes which is my favorite portrayal of intimacy. That the couple is comfortable and laughing--growing closer physically and emotionally. And if I laugh too so much the better.
The information about the war and planes made me think in a new way--that the planes then flew low, so even though they were fighting above civilians, the action was very much near and visible.
More moments with Frank Randall! Yes, please!
The ending is abrupt! Still I cried. (I was glad some of the physicality was confusing to follow near the end because the condition of the injuries sounded bad.)
I listened twice in a row.
Recorded Book narrator is a favorite now. Look for more books narrated by Robert Ian Mackenzie.
