Emily Hudson: A Novel Audiobook

" A slow starting period peice about England and the differences between men and women. It ended on a very positive note. That I liked a bout it. "

" Good story, easy to read, a few of the character's seemed a little over bearing. It ends abruptly. The traveling to England and Italy at the time of the Civil War was interesting. "

" I Absolutely Love This Book I Recommend It To Every Reader. "

" This book was an advance copy that I won through the FirstReads program. Overall, I enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick read. I enjoyed Emily Hudson as a character, but wanted to know more about her and her many relationships. My only disappointment was that I felt the author rushed through her story. Would love to see it a little longer and more detailed in the relationships of the character. "

" This was a delightful read. I read it almost in one sitting. I truly understood Emily and her feelings.... Wonderful. "

" A very very slow book had to push myself to finish the story "

" Abandoned. Could not get into it at all. "

" This story has its roots in the life of Henry James, specifically his manipulative relationship with his cousin Minny Temple and her energetic spirit. His book "A Private Life of Henry James: Two Women and His Art" was the corner stone of this book. "

" I loved this book. I loved Emily's personality and how she always stayed true to herself. In a way she kind of reminds me of myself, which was great because i was able to connect better with her character. The story was amazing and it was a very rewarding book to read. "

" This novel based on Henry James' life was readable and had lots of great period detail. Unfortunately. the characters just never quite came alive for me. "

" Grabbed this book off the new fiction shelf at the library while I was with the baby. Didn't have time to really check out the books, so I hope this one is at least entertaining. "

" not a bad story but sort of longer and more drawn out than it needed to be. "

" It started off slowly and was a bit tedious and morose. I kept plugging away and about halfway through I started to enjoy the book. I liked the ending and was happy to see the main character start to have some strength. "

" very Wharton-esque. neatly tied up into a bow at the end. "

" Reminiscent of Edith Wharton with a little Charlotte Bronte thrown in. You can actually feel the claustrophobic desperation of an intelligent woman in the 1860s watching her life choices narrowing. G-rated, but with a darker edge than Jane Austen. "

" Boring! Only made it to the 3rd chapter. "

" I really enjoyed this book. A historical novel based in the 1860's, this book just the right amount of historical detail. It gives a great look at how women were viewed in this era. I also enjoyed the letters that the various characters wrote. Worth reading. "

" A good story in need of more editing and pruning. "
