Three Good Things |
At its core, this book was about two sisters and the ups and downs they experience over the course of a year. As you get into the story, however, you realize that it is also the story of how both Ellen and Lanie relate to the people in their lives, each other, and how they navigate the changes that take place within their worlds. While I could really, really relate to some of Lanie’s feelings about being a working mom (that part was very well done and accurate) I think I felt more drawn to Ellen’s character. She was a good person, a good sister, and until recently, a good wife. She started over and carved out a little something of her own in her kringle shop. Of the two, Ellen undergoes the most dramatic transformation. She loves her sister and is perhaps a little envious of her life, but life also ends up handing her some unexpected joy, as well. The way it hands her that joy is wrapped up in some pretty complicated feelings and circumstances, but that was the great part about her story. I loved the way that she decides to take control of her happiness and decides to take her late mother’s advice by seeing the good in what has happened. Lanie, being younger and a little more tightly wound, has her own struggles. While they weren’t the main focus of the book, they were still compelling and would be relevant to a lot of readers, I think. I enjoyed the change in perspectives between Ellen, Lanie and Rob (Lanie’s husband). It was essential to my involvement in the story and it helped me feel like I really knew these people. This quiet book was a very satisfying story with relatable characters and an ending that was sweet and hopeful without being too saccharine.
The narrator’s performance was generally good. There was good voice distinction between the female characters. The male characters were not as distinct to my ear, but it didn’t take away from the story. I felt that she especially excelled in reading Ellen’s voice. Since this story takes place in the Midwest, there was a certain Midwestern cadence to the characters that I felt the narrator was able to capture without overdoing it. Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. It was an entertaining and thoughtful story that was read by someone who seemed to reflect the spirit of the characters very well.
I received this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
You had me at sisters. I have a very big weakness for books that focus on familial relationships, especially sisters, and this sounds like it does! I’d be intrigued to find out about their relationship and their lives separately and together.
