I read this over 10 years ago and I am always quick to proclaim it as one of my favorite books. When I came across the audio I decided to listen to it since I rarely take the time to reread even my favorite books. I am so glad that I revisited this old favorite. There were so many parts and details that I had forgotten, honestly I had completely forgotten the epilog, which is a necessary part of the book. Yes, the story is heart breaking and hard to hear at times, but it is beautifully written. The version I had was read by Brooks herself.
