They were sisters and they would last past the end of time.

Sam and Elena dream of another life. On the island off the coast of Washington where they were born and raised, they and their mother struggle to survive. Sam works on the ferry that delivers wealthy mainlanders to their vacation homes while Elena bartends at the local golf club, but even together they can’t earn enough to get by, stirring their frustration about the limits that shape their existence.

Then one night on the boat, Sam spots a bear swimming the dark waters of the channel. Where is it going? What does it want? When the bear turns up by their home, Sam, terrified, is more convinced than ever that it’s time to leave the island. But Elena responds differently to the massive beast. Enchanted by its presence, she throws into doubt the desire to escape and puts their long-held dream in danger.

A story about the bonds of sisterhood and the mysteries of the animals that live among us—and within us—Bear is a propulsive, mythical, richly imagined novel from one of the most acclaimed young writers in America. Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Psychologique Rêve

I’m still trying to wrap my head around what I just listened to. If you like slow and bizarre then this book is for you. I didn’t like any of the characters or the storyline. I saw one five star rating and thought I’d give this book a go, and now I’m grappling to understand how even one person could give this 5 stars. I try to always give a fair review and I truly believe this review is fair for this book.

Just bizarre

Recorded well but the story itself, is drawn out, repetitive and annoying with an unsatisfying conclusion.

Disappointing

terrible ending, felt like a stretch, cop out, weird, abrupt, confusing. it was otherwise engaging.

A story about sister relationships and their complexities. Plays off the meme theme: man or bear. I’m not sad that I listened to it; good while I was gardening. Not sure I would recommend it; though I would like to discuss it with others who have read it. I found the ending abrupt after the slow plot movement. I found I often confused the two sisters and I don’t know if that’s because I couldn’t differentiate them enough because I didn’t find them interesting or because I was listening rather than reading. I chose “Bear” because it popped up on the main screen and the description caught me interest. Wispy. Slow. More mundane than mysterious.

Slow drama that walks you into the mysterious relationship between a bear and the mundane lives of two sisters

I had such high hopes after reading the summary but I felt like the story was too slow and while I understood the point they were trying to make with the story at the end, I found it hard to connect with the characters until the last couple of chapters. The performance was great and it brought some life into the tired and repetitive dialogue. I shouldn't have used my monthly credit on this book.

Meh
