Hello, Agnieszka

Between Two Worlds, Book 2

Elise thought her mother didn’t have any secrets. But when her oldest brother attempts suicide, a dark truth must come to light – a past her mother had never shared with any of her children.

A passion for music. Shattered dreams. Betrayal of a sweet but tragic first love. A second chance. Such was Agnieszka's past life amidst the exciting hopeful seventies.

Born to immigrant parents weighed down by their roots, Agnieszka takes solace in learning to play the piano, taught by a sympathetic grandaunt who was a concert pianist in Poland. But when her aunt betrays her and her parents cast her aside for violating their traditional values, can music sustain her? Can she, at eighteen, build a life on her own?

When she finally bares her soul to her children, Agnieszka hopes they can accept that she's just as human, just as vulnerable as they are. More importantly, she will need to reconnect with the strength that allowed her to conquer the past and have hope for the future.

Book 2 in the family saga Between Two Worlds (BTW), Hello Agnieszka is one of three standalone novels of loss, love, second chances, and finding one’s way.

BTW tells the stories of three strong women who cope with issues contemporary women face.

A Family Drama

This was my first experience with this author's work. I thought this book was heart-wrenching and emotional as the story of Agnieszka's life was revealed. I was amazed at Agnieszka's determination to succeed in spite of all her trials and tribulations. I was amazed by her indomitable spirit, and I felt for her tragedies. I thought Nyamukandawiri's narration was great as her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
