My Old True Love Audiobook

" Really loved this book and read it in one day. Beautiful storytelling about a time when life was harsh, but lightened by a music-loving appalachian culture during the civil-war era. "

" This was a wonderful book that I could not put down. A love story, a story of strength and perseverance and betrayal all wrapped up in one great book. "

" Has kinda a Cold Mountain feel to it. Very well written in a colloquial sorta way. Good book, stupid ending. "

" I adored this book. Sheila Kay Adams is a wonderful storyteller. "

" The story of a family, set in the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains just before the Civil War. "

" Her music is equally amazing! "

" I really enjoyed this book. My only reason for not giving it 4 stars is because of the ending. Arty was such a great narrator and i loved her story and wanted mo of her story. The ending felt forced and nit in keeping with the rest of the book. Was this book worth reading? Absolutely. "

" Civil War era story that takes place near home. I loved the history aspect of it. Pretty good story. "

" I couldn't stand reading in the first person narrative along with the dialect. Just slogged along and finally quit after first two chapters. I'll never know what happened to Larkin. "

" Sheila Kay is a master storyteller, both in print and in person. Loved this book "

" Loved the language and the description on life in the mountains. "

" Great story, vivid realism and memorable well-developed characters make this book special. "

" Oh, the drama.... I kind of liked most of this book, but the last quarter of it just got too deep for my shallow self. "

" This is a powerful story about the people and songs of the Appalachian mountains, written by an author who grew up there and intimately knows these songs and their history. "

" for book club, great writing, storyline was a bit slow in parts, but overall enjoyed reading it because it described the effects of the civil war on families and individuals, felt the ending was a bit abrupt and left me feeling empty "

" I loved, loved this book! I wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars. "

" Beautiful. And if you listen on audio, you get to hear the ballads. "

" This would have gotten 4 stars from if it hadn't been for the ending. I thought it was extremely out of character for Larkin and struck a strange and out of place note to the end of the book. Otherwise, a very readable book with a likable narrator. "
