Cruel Beautiful World
Cruel Beautiful World
by Caroline Leavitt
Cruel Beautiful World (8/27/2016)
This is the story of a teenage girl who runs away with her high school teacher. It is a story of the effect this act has on her, her teacher, their families and the people they meet along the way. I was drawn into the story right from the beginning. I liked the writing and …more
The Book That Matters Most
The Book That Matters Most: A Novel
by Ann Hood
The Book That Matters Most (6/19/2016)
What could be better than a book by Ann Hood about books? One of my favorite authors does not disappoint. I have never belonged to a book club but find the concept here fascinating - each member of this book club picks the book that matters most to them and then everyone …more
Amour Provence
Amour Provence
by Constance Leisure
Amour Provence (3/25/2016)
This book was not at all what I expected from the description. It is the story of a small winemaking village in Provence and the people who live there. The "sense of place" was wonderful and very descriptive of the beautiful scenery in that part of France. I found the …more
The Two-Family House
The Two-Family House
by Lynda Cohen Loigman
The Two Story House (11/28/2015)
This is the story of two brothers, their wives and children who share a two story house. Early on it was very obvious to me where the story was going but it was interesting to see how the author carried the story forward. The adults dominated the story and we never got to …more
Broken Promise
Broken Promise: A Thriller
by Linwood Barclay
Broken Promise (7/18/2015)
I have now discovered Linwood Barclay. I had heard of him but never read any of his books. This is a good one. It is the story of the small town of Promise Falls, a man and his son, his family and a baby who appears out of nowhere, Murders, intrigue and twists make for an …more
Letters to the Lost
Letters to the Lost
by Iona Grey
Letters to the Lost (3/20/2015)
This is a love story about two people separated by World War II - an English woman and an American soldier. The back and forth between the past and the present was interesting but I feel as if I have read this basic plot in many different forms before. I thought it was too …more
The Nightingale
The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah
The Nightingale (9/27/2014)
Thank you Kristin Hannah for an unforgettable story. I have read all of her books and this one is my favorite - a little different than what she usually writes. It mainly takes place in the countryside of France during World War II. It is a look at the strength, courage and …more
Accidents of Marriage
Accidents of Marriage
by Randy Susan Meyers
Accidents of Marriage (6/21/2014)
Average is a perfect word to describe this book. I felt as if I had read this story before. It's a common theme - how a family survives an accident to one of them. Without revealing too much of the plot - the mother of the family is seriously injured in a car accident. The …more
The House We Grew Up In
The House We Grew Up In
by Lisa Jewell
The house we grew up in (3/23/2014)
At first I was disconcerted with the time changing back and forth but after a short while, I was totally caught up in the story. Yes, this is a book about a dysfunctional family - and there are many, many books about dysfunctional families - but there were so many twists …more
The Deepest Secret
The Deepest Secret
by Carla Buckley
The Deepest Secret (12/21/2013)
I really liked the writing in this story. It engaged me right away and kept my interest all the way to the end. This is a story of a family. On the surface, it is an average family except for the devastating illness of the son. His illness impacts each member of the family …more
Jacob's Oath
Jacob's Oath
by Martin Fletcher
Jacob's Oath (9/23/2013)
As I was reading this book, I kept thinking of one tree standing as part of a forest. This story is one of many that make up the Holocaust. Painful at times to read because of the harshness of the details, there was a definite uplifting quality to it. It is a story about …more
The Affairs of Others
The Affairs of Others
by Amy Grace Loyd
The Affairs of Others (7/6/2013)
This is the first novel of Amy Grace Loyd. I found her voice unique. I can't compare her writing style to any other "popular" novelists. A widow buys a small apartment building in NY. She respects the privacy of her tenants and expects them to do them same for her. Slowly …more
Afterwards
Afterwards: A Novel
by Rosamund Lupton
Afterwards (4/29/2012)
I do believe in "out of body" experiences but I wasn't sure that I would enjoy a book with that theme. I almost didn't finish this book but once I decided to give it a chance, I found myself enjoying it more and more. The story is told in a unique way and the plot twists …more
