Only distraction is the narrator. Hearing the swallows, gulps, and other throat noises are very distracting. I have enjoyed the plot and Cleo. Only distraction is the narrator.

There are a couple of details about the UK that should probably be rectified, not least that the accelerator pedal in the UK is still on the right hand (foot?) side, even though the seat is on the right. ;) Really enjoyed listening to this book – not quite finished just yet – different to my normal fare, but a great listen all the same.

The story was well thought out, well told, and well read. The descriptions and the religious details were wonderful. Most importantly, the characters were developed expertly, and they were believable. An excellent book, congratulations! The story was well thought out, well told, and well read.

Being from Phila., the references ring pretty true, including the nod to Maria Goretti (although I too was a Girls' High girl)...but nobody I know wears "tennies" (laughing). Thank you for an intriguing story. About half way thru and enjoying the rollercoaster ride thru the centuries!

It seemed like it was written to be read aloud - especially the way it was read so beautifully on this podcast version. I loved Cleo's character for both her flaws and her strengths.

The characters were intense, the plot well thought out, and the dialogue believable. I loved the way it was told as a first person narrative (not an easy feat), and the way the main character jumped between time periods. I'm not a religious person, but I wasn't the least put off by the religious aspect. It actually made it quite intriguing. If this story doesn't win an award, it should. I recommend this for mature audiences, not because of any gratuitous material (there isn't any), but because children wouldn't "get it."

Wasn't sure I would like a book focused so much on religion but it turns out it was more about ghosts and paranormal things than religion. Enjoyed the book.
