   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Jacsun | Jul 16, 2023 |  All went well for Wade until Nina, an heiress who pilots her own plane and has come for her third divorce, and childlike and spoiled Emily who is trying to make it through her first, arrive and become friends. Wade takes them on trail rides, chauffers them to town, and breaks the hardfast rule not to become personally involved with a guest. I had trouble settling into this and thought it boring for awhile. The description of it claims it is hilarious but I didn't think so. There are amusing moments, but it isn't comedy. I did like the ending but didn't think I'd make it that far. Wade returned to Tennessee and a lifetime later gives a poignant summation of what happened to the three and to the beloved owners of the ranch once they were seperated.

HTML: "Do you want to read something funny? Let's say, a novel set at a divorce ranch in Reno in the 1930s? A book with memorably eccentric characters, sparkling dialogue, a satisfying plot twist, and some romance and sex? A feel-good literary comedy/western? Here it is, then, the book you've been looking for: Julia Claiborne Johnson's Better Luck Next Time."â??Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement The long anticipated second novel from the bestselling author of Be Frank with Me, a charming story of endings, new beginnings, and the complexities and complications of friendship and love, set in late 1930s Reno. It's 1938 and women seeking a quick, no-questions split from their husbands head to the "divorce capital of the world," Reno, Nevada. There's one catch: they have to wait six-weeks to become "residents." Many of these wealthy, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap, a dude ranch that caters to their every need. Twenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything in the Great Depression; now he's earning an honest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing good looksâ??"Cary Grant in cowboy boots"â??Ward thinks he's got the Flying Leap's clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everything he thinks he knows: Nina, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back for her third divorce, and Emily, whose bravest moment in life was leaving her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno. A novel about divorce, marriage, and everything that comes in between (money, class, ambition, and opportunity), Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship can save us, love can destroy us, and the family we create can be stronger than the family we come f Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
