Audiobook.....read by Elizabeth Rogers! The narrator is excellent- and this book is extraordinary. Beautiful writing- totally fascinating. “The only way this will end is if I die”. Rachel Azaria can’t die. We take a two thousand year voyage with Rachel — she gives up her death in order to save her f Leggi tutto
Eternal Life had such a fascinating premise; a young woman named Rachel makes an eternal bond with her baby daddy, Elazar, to save their only son by forfeiting their deaths so their child may live. As a result, Rachel and Elazar can never die. Great idea, right? I was expecting, oh...I don't know.
I wish I were in a book club specifically to talk about this book.
First Read (April 2019): Everything and everyone blew through the world, leaves carried on wind.When you live like we do, everything seems connected to everything else, everything reminds you of something. As this novel gets underway, we're given to understand that there's something unusual ab

Rachel Weeping For Her Children Sometimes reading one book leads directly to another. I had just read a book by a 20th century American philosopher, William E. Hocking, exploring issues surrounding the role of death in human experience and in understanding the meaning of life and the possibility of a Leggi tutto
More like 2.5 stars. I read some of this book in February, and read the rest after a long gap, but it's not really why I didn't like the book. My problem is pretty much the same one I have when I read any other book which has a centuries old protagonist, they seem about as old mentally as whatever t Leggi tutto
---- Disclosure: I received this book for free from Goodreads. ---- So, first things first, the cover illustration on the edition I received was just fantastic. It definitely would have made me pause if I'd been out browsing. I'd for sure have stopped and picked it up to see what it was about, so k
