About this listen

Showcasing the intensity and perception of a truly gifted writer, this collection of stories by the author of the number-one New York Times best-seller The Memory Keeper's Daughter transports us to exotic locations as it follows the lives of those on the fringes of society: a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, a juggler and a trapeze artist, and a cleaning woman whose life is interwoven with Marie Curie's. Each must confront, in dramatically differing ways, the barriers of time, place, and circumstance in that most universal of human experiences: the quest to discover, and understand, the elusive mysteries of love.©1997 Kim Edwards (P)2007 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA), Inc., and Books on Tape.

chapters are not well divided

The stories are nice and the narration does them justice, however it is very annoying that the chapters of the audiobook do not coincide with the stories themselves.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
