A review by kriswc
The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker
3.0
Audiobook: George Guidall, narration.
Fabulous narration, again.
I continue to love the characters in this book - all of them. Continues to raise intriguing questions about life and death and mourning and community. The beginning and end captivated me the most. My 3* review is because I got bogged down/bored in the middle somewhere. Almost stopped listening. The Titanic ends up affecting the story in a tired way. Even Downtown Abbey had a Titanic storyline. I much preferred the way the Triangle Factory tragedy was treated: it happened on the edges of the story, adding richness to the story and the story adding context to the fire and it’s aftermath.
If there’s a #3, I will definitely read it. I’m glad I stuck with this one.
