Histoire
After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now. For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined.

Captivating read
Évalué le: 2020-09-13
This a well written and captivating story. I almost stopped listening because of the narrator's monotonous voice. At first her reading made it was very hard for me to follow the characters. After I got to know the characters it got better. Interestingly, her voice and performance was well-matched for Grace.

Histoire
Three stories concern the same woman - in the first, she escapes from teaching at a girls' school into a wild love affair; in the second, she returns with her child to the home of her parents, whose marriage she finally begins to examine; and in the last, her vanished child turns up caught in the grip of a religious cult. In these and other stories Alice Munro's understanding of the people about whom she writes makes their lives as real as our own.

Hangers!
Évalué le: 2020-07-29
These stories are well written, and read, but I personally did not like that stories just end without any kind of closure. I certainly wasn't looking for happy ever after in these stories but its hard to have the story end after a significant event(s) have occurred. There is only a part/chapter pause before you are thrust into the next story. Overall, very good and captivating stories.
