A Partisan's Daughter Audiobook

" Scherezhade retold in a wonderful way- some favorite quotes " I thought by runnlng away I could leave myself behind" p163 " I once heard a joke about Irish Alzeheimers disease where you forget everything but a grudge "p 65 " But now I know that everyone is escaping from themselves" p191 and it does live up to the reviews. "

" Well well... Can't believe it took me so long to read this book. It's not even thick. Maybe I'm just too lazy now that I'm on summer break. But this book really didn't excite me or inspire me, I really didn't look forward to reading it even when I took it from the library. Still, Roza is a wicked, provoking girl. I kinda liked her. "

" Haven't quite decided yet on the review. The story runs smoothly, it is well written, the ending is sad... So I suppose what more could you wish for. "

" This is a short read about a middle-aged man who meets up with woman from the former Yugoslavia and tells him of her stories of her life and how their relationship evolves over time. It was an interesting read with some interesting characters. "

" Interesting story about two very different people who meet and become friends in London. She has led a very hard life and he likes to listen to her stories. I found it depressing and I didn't really learn anything, but it's a quick-read so I finished it. "

" An exercise in narrative style as much as an aching love story. Another very satisfying outing with Louis. "

" Awful fucking book, tortuously bad read and to think this was short liseted for the Costa award, fucking awful and I like some of his other stuff. "

" I didn't actually finish this but it was a great disappointment. His central american trilogy is brilliant. "

" Very good story. Older repressed man starts friendship with younger woman who invents much of her life story to keep him interested. This is a fun book and a quick read. "

" i didn't really like this in the end - well, i didn't like it in the middle either because things weren't really happening. definitely don't think it's one of his better books. i just didn't like the fact that you had no idea whether what she was telling was true.... "

" In comparison to other books I have read by this author, I was fairly disappointed with this one. "

" only read part "

" A case study of stupidity in action. Full of bad decisions and stories of bad decisions, illustrating how - despite our ability to make bad decisions - our inability to learn from them is steadfast. "

" Interesting, disjointed and hard to find the line between truth and fiction. A sad, lovely story. "

" Not sure what to make of this; don't like or dislike it. It's not my favorite of his work, but it was interesting. "

" An exercise in narrative style as much as an aching love story. Another very satisfying outing with Louis. "
