I know God in this way, how he works among us and through us to share the beautiful life He has for us with others. I enjoyed all the readers, especially the Portugese young lady. She had lovely diction and a graceful accent. I hope to hear her again. I am moving on to the next title by this author. Peace out.

This is a really beautiful book. The story is sweet and quite fun in the beginning, and there is a bit more intrigue as the book goes on. I especially enjoyed how the author developed her characters' Christian faith. I thought this was well done and made sense in the context of the story and the moral choices each character makes. Certainly not a book that would be written today! If you can get through the middle of the book with heavily accented narrator, you are good to go. (I actually downloaded text version of the book, and just read through those chapters).

great story - got preachy

i was really caught up in this story. loving it. and it didnt even bother me that it had a different reader for every chapter. but about halfway through it starts getting religious. i am a very religious person and go to worship twice a week and read the bible or bible based literature daily. but i just wasnt expecting that in this story and it didnt feel like it fit. its like the writer "got religion" in the middle of writing this book and changed her plans for the books plot. i listened for a few chapters more, but i just lost all interest in the story because it just didnt seem to be the same story or characters.

Excellent reading

well read by a variety of volunteers on the whole. However for half a dozen chapters I had to slow down the delivery to 0.6 so I could puzzle out the content as the Portuguese reader was speaking very fast and has a heavy accent and odd mispronunciation which mangled many words unrecognisably. Thankfully eventually her chapters were over and I could enjoy the book once more.

I've enjoyed these books for years. Elizabeth Wilcox was the star reader! What a fantastic job young lady! You made the book come alive! Wish you had read more. I also wish the app would let you search book by readers! The delight of the Cloudy Jewel book is not the typical young GLH romance, but the found usefulness of someone "past her prime".

I enjoyed this book. I was pleasantly surprised at the religious turn that the book took. There is so much junk out today, it's nice to read about people with honesty, integrity and wanting to help others.

so awesome! amazing!

a beautiful portrayal of a Christian home full of love for those not really deserving but also for the deserving. it was nice to see how right can rule so well and selfish characters took a backseat. an encouragment to all who wish to live for true love for our fellow man through Christ our helper. never a boring moment I could almost imagine being with them all there and i loved them all at cloudy villa 💖

I was desiring an easy listening, uncomplicated book. This fit the bill. Unfortunately, one narrator had a very heavy accent and was difficult to understand. So I skipped chapters 18-22 and it was fine. The other narrators were great.
