Book Review: Loverly
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of us who love Julie Andrews, and wish that she had recorded so much more before she tragically lost that crystal clear soprano, this recording is another way to appreciate the gift of her voice. Reading the book is no comparison to listening to the author herself; her clean pronunciation of every carefully chosen word makes you want to rewind and savor every delicious phrase over and over again, like the first taste of a Godiva chocolate. I thought I knew pretty much everything about her life, having fallen in love with her at the age of 11 when Mary Poppins fist came out, then backtracking, discovering with delight the cast recordings of "The Boyfriend," "My Fair Lady," and "Camelot." But I learned so much of her young life as no one else could describe it. I listened to most of this set of CDs on long car rides, and I'm surprised I ever ended up at my destination - having been transported back to England, and smelling the roses of her English gardens, knowing her family members intimately, hearing all the little pieces that shaped this remarkable creatures life.
Even if you have read the book, do yourself a favor and purchase the CD set, find a comfortable spot, fix a cup of tea, and prepare to hear this wonderful storyteller share her personal experience of "Home."
