Unabridged Audiobook
This is Lila's backstory and due to the excellent writing, I remained interested in her story to the end. Lila's voice was authentic and sympathetic without being overly dramatic or pathetic. The events of her life were believable and gave some insight into why she became the woman we first met in the first book. Well worth another visit to Gilead, Iowa and the rich cast of characters in the Gilead series.
I couldn't get into this book, and I gave it a good shot. Normally, I make my way through to the end, regardless, but this one I threw in the towel. I wasn't intrigued by the characters, although I wanted to be.
Loved the story. Held up as a sequel to Gilead, which is saying a lot. The narrator had good voice variety.
