Book Review of Sing You Home (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

BeckyWalker avatar reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


This audio book was nothing like I expected. I thought it was going to be a love story, plain and simple. There's nothing simple about this book...at all. It's about being unable to have children. It's about invtro. It's about being a lesbian. It's about church, doctrine, judgments, and high emotions. It has a lot of music on the audio CD as a singer sings the songs written for this story. It didn't have the touchy feely love story I've been searching for since listening to "Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. It was well-written and kept my attention. It made me think about a lot of things that I rarely think about. Life is so complicated for some people. I felt like I was in the middle of a very drama-filled family feud. It's wonderful that a book can carry you away like that, but this one left me a bit stressed out. The subject matter seemed very timely.
