The Time Between

By: Karen White

Narrated by: Jennifer Ikeda, Barbara Rosenblat, Angela Goethals

Eleanor Murray will always remember her childhood on Edisto Island, where her late father, a local shrimper, shared her passion for music. Now her memories of him are all that tempers the guilt she feels over the accident that put her sister in a wheelchair and the feelings she harbors for her sister's husband.

To help support her sister, Eleanor works at a Charleston investment firm during the day, but she escapes into her music, playing piano at a neighborhood bar. Until the night her enigmatic boss walks in and offers her a part-time job caring for his elderly aunt, Helena, back on Edisto. For Eleanor, it's a chance to revisit the place where she was her happiest and to share her love of music with grieving Helena, whose sister recently died under mysterious circumstances.

An island lush with sweetgrass and salt marshes, Edisto has been a peaceful refuge for Helena, who escaped with her sister from war-torn Hungary in 1944. The sisters were well-known on the island, where they volunteered in their church and community. But now Eleanor will finally learn the truth about their past: secrets that will help heal her relationship with her own sister and set Eleanor free....

A Sister's Story - Secrets in a Basket

The readers are wonderful, make the story come alive. This is a story mostly for women with sisters, but anyone could enjoy it. It's long, but kept my interest all the way, waiting for the secrets to be revealed. Karen White a good writer, but this is my first book by her.
Enjoyed the story.

I loved it!

The story is solid and interesting and evoked an emotional response.

There wasn't really anything I didn't like about it.

Very decent book

I always like K. White's books and this one is so far my favorite. With WWII history and the two women's stories it was sad at times but the ending was uplifting. I felt I could relate to the characters but a few were under developed but it was still a great book for an easy listen.

very enjoyable story.

i thoroughly enjoyed this story. it is worth listening to. great narration. I highly recommend this book.

A good message

I really enjoyed the voices they chose for the different points of view. I do highly recommend the author too if you are not familiar.
