Songs for Your Mother

This author took his time... The characters and their history were well rounded and without a lot of unnecessary filler. It was a slow burn; it didn't feel rushed. So, refreshing. And the narrator was perfect. I almost forgot I was listening to an audiobook; I was so immersed in the story. Best of all, there wasn't a sudden climax and then the book ends. No, it was wrapped up (sort of spoiler alert here) with no real ending, what you want to make of it ending, but so satisfying. The book, IMO, was beautifully written, rich, and heartfelt. There was much to learn from this story on a personal level and I think anyone who wants something a little different, but smooth with excellent texture and character development, without all the anger, hate and sex that seems to find its way into most books these days, then this one is for you. You'll be left with a good feeling in your heart and smile on your face.

A lovely story that touches so much emotion.

loved this book. interesting. easy listen. good narrator. couldn't stop listening to it

A delightful story

Beautifully crafted book that balances life’s sorrow with deep, unexpected joy. I will remember this book.

Quite an interesting perspective this story takes. Touching in parts & painfully annoying in others. The main character is annoying English & making it painful in places. It's not the worst thing I've ever read

Sweet story. Thoroughly enjoyed listening. I like books that leave you with a sweet, good feeling, especially when it could have done opposite.

Even though there were a lot of unexpected turns in the story, I was a little bored by all of the constant over-thinking about parenting and was very disappointed by the non-ending ending! I enjoyed the narrator!

Extremely predictable but, if you have nothing to do, it was entertaining.

Not great. I found the main character quite pathetic and the story was very predictable. The narrator was good but there is only so much you can do to prop up a lame story. Not for me thanks

I loved it. I got so engrossed with this audiobook I didn’t want it to end. Beautifully written and the narration was soft and thoughtful throughout. A brilliant emotional book to listen to or read

Started slowly and almost gave up but started with the surprise entrance of a small boy and the lessons learned along the way !!

Felt like the book was very repetitious and the very high point being the end. I have so many more questions I’d like answered .

For me, it was a fantasy w/men & women in reversed roles. As a story, I found it weak & unrealistic - a long tale on cognitive dissonnace. Maybe this happens when people no longer interact with each other in real-time? The unrealistic becomes noteworthy? Perhaps this is why I rarely find reviews helpful. So listen to it and draw or write your own conclusions.

Wonderful story, great listen!

Absolutely brilliant!

What a beautiful book. It had me smiling albeit sometimes through tears.

solid entertainment. Reads a bit like YA.

A very sad story but ever so interesting, I cried while listening and could not wait to hear the end. A beautiful story!!
