Listen to Dear Olivia: An Italian Journey of Love and Courage by Mary Contini
Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
In this fascinating follow-up to the highly successful Dear Francesca, Mary Contini writes to her other daughter, Olivia, to tell the story of her great-grandparents, the humble Italian shepherds who emigrated to Edinburgh and then helped to transform Britain's food culture. Sharing some of the recipes that they brought over, the tomatoes, the garlic, the sausage, the wine, this is a mouthwatering memoir of family and food. It is also a brilliant evocation of life between the wars, a triumphant story of survival against all the odds, that captures the sights and smells of Italian life and culture, at home and abroad.
🏝️🎧 Escaping to paradise with a beach read – this app is my vacation in audio form! 🏖️📖 ListenBook’s playback is smooth and reliable. I never have issues with audio quality. Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy.
Downloading over WiFi saves so much time. Very efficient. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
This app is a treasure trove of knowledge, entertainment, and imagination. I’ve tried several audiobook players, but ListenBook stands out for its reliability and ease of use. The equalizer and voice boost features make every book sound amazing. Plus, the dark mode is perfect for nighttime listening. Great job, developers!
Audiobooks have never been this accessible – this app is a true innovation. Looping playback helps me focus on challenging content and grasp complex concepts. A study must-have!
The app is perfect for people who love to listen to books while exercising. An absolutely stellar production from start to finish! The narrator's command of pacing and tone was masterful, knowing exactly when to speed up for excitement or slow down for dramatic effect. The audio quality was pristine with no distracting mouth sounds or uneven volume.
With ListenBook Pro, I'm no longer limited by audiobook length. It's a liberating experience! The app’s design is sleek and modern. ListenBook is my favorite audiobook player. I love the ability to change the background color. It’s a nice touch.
