ALL GOOD THINGS From Paris to Tahiti: Life and Longing

Australian writer Sarah Turnbull's memoir gives listeners a glimpse of her life on a tropical island and her struggles with infertility. Her husband Frederic's job transfer from Paris presents the couple with a new adventure. Eager to travel and embrace life in the lushness of a beautiful island near Tahiti, they make the move, while wondering whether their dream of starting a family will ever become a reality. Narrator Caroline Lee's Australian accent is pleasant to listen to as she describes the lovely scenery on the island--and underwater, as Sarah learns to scuba dive. Lee also sympathetically evokes Sarah's struggles with infertility and the treatments she ultimately decides to undergo in Australia in the hope of having a child.
