( ) I think I've mis-shelved this book. It doesn't really belong on "Heaving Bosoms" , but I refuse to start a "Fluttering Bosoms", so what can you do. I'm reading this Cedar Cove series because my family is doing it sort of as a group reading, and I'd like to stay in the loop with the family conversations. So I'm listening to them on audio, and Sandra Burr is her usual very competent self, bringing more life to the narration than I certainly could. The setting is the Anywhere USA town that every family sitcom from mid-century America was set in. Including those same values and mores. There's little or no crime, deviance, or depravity of any kind. Even the "bad" characters are, at worst, a little selfish and mean-spirited. Oh, and the one rich guy who's rumored to engage in shady business practices, has (gasp) divorced several wives, and dates women young enough to be his daughter. He's the only villain, as Got this yesterday and had finished by this morning. This is the start of another series by Macomber about a community just outside Seattle. It starts with two young people who married fast and young and whose relationship is on the rocks after the premature birth and death of their daughter - which the husband wasnt around for due to being on a submarine for the Navy. Up in divorce court, the judge decides to deny them a divorce, and the stories go from there. There are plenty of different relationships - those who have been divorced or widowed for years, those whose long time marriage dissolves when he walks out, sudden marriages and pregnancies, reconciliations. Not all are finished cleanly by the end of the book, allowing for further books to come alone (are you surprised? really?), whilst also displaying that life doesnt always finish cleanly. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Olivia Lockhart Dear Reader, You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends and neighbors. Come and hear their stories--maybe even their secrets! I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather...difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them. Here's an example. I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In my mother's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work--and I actually agreed. So I rendered my judgment: Divorce Denied. Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of ), everyone's talking. Cedar Cove--people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it! See you soon... Olivia .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
