À propos de cet audio

 Infused with sharp insight, honesty, and emotion, At Paradise Gate is a treat for both the heart and the intellect. In this poignant story, best-selling author Jane Smiley pens a graceful portrait of an ordinary midwestern family confronting the mysteries of death and regeneration.

While her 77-year-old husband lies upstairs, dying, Anna Robison spends her depleting energy defending their home. Their three middle-aged daughters and 23-year-old granddaughter have invaded, radiating vigor and good intentions. But the younger women temper their help with squabbling, ill-considered advice, and an abundant supply of their own problems.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley brilliantly captures the simple pleasures and troubles common to everyday life.

I was reading along with this audiobook with a physical book And at Chapter 5 a whole chunk is missing. This would make the story very confusing for someone who didn't have the actual book. Apart from that, the narrator is excellent, as is the story. Just marred by the missing pages.
