Over the span of 60 + years, thru WW!! and concentration camps, 2 young Czech lovers stories are told by fabulous George Guidall as Josef and Suzanne as Lenka. Thoughtful, sad but engrossing love story I don't think I've ever worn my earbuds for so long! The meeting of the two grandparents at the end was memorable. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I would seek out more books narrated by him. Guidall's recitation of the Kaddish prayer, which was very authentic. The two narrators brought the characters to life and I could not possibly have gotten the same feeling I got listening to their voices. What does George Guidall and Suzanne Toren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Don't want to spoil the book by saying much more. His dreams of his family being happy for him are foreshadowing for what is to come. I felt that when he burned his letters to Lenka, he was putting to rest his restless longing for her. Josef's careful descriptions of his feelings are precious. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Wife? This is one of the most endearing books I've listed to and I was sorry to have it end. I enjoyed the epilogue and felt the ending was perfect. I loved the character development and the way the accents were done. I loved the way the two narrators wove the story of the star-crossed lovers chapter by chapter. What did you love best about The Lost Wife?Įverything.
