As I continue reading Mary Alice Monroe in this stay-at-home world, I just finished The Long Road Home that displays life in New York City and in the state of Vermont. Nora MacKenzie’s husband, Mike commits suicide in front of banker Charles Walker Blair and Nora’s world plummets out of control. In the flash of a gun, the glitzy life of a pampered society lady turns to a life of hardship in the wild, chilly mountains of Vermont. Nora has only this primitive and unfinished house and acres of pasture and sheep to keep the wolves at bay. This is a story of new friendships forged and trust restored, and love awakened. The story is beautifully written, but the events and outcomes of the story are predictable ( ) The front and the back of the book intrigued me, along with the first few pages; unfortunately, the book was a big disappointment. I was genuinely bored throughout the whole thing and was relieved when I finally finished it. A long, drawn out, predictable story about a rich woman who becomes almost poor after her husband's suicide. She moves from the city to her farmhouse in Vermont, and blah, blah, blah. the long road home by mary alice monroe: an author who writes very well about all kinds of problems and how the characters in her books solve them. I love this author. this book is about a woman who relocates to Vermont to the sheep farm after her husband has used all his money and others and commits suicide leaving her with nothing. the workers at the farm really are her family now and pitch in at any time to help out. she finds out that one is not who she thought he was and he goes out of his way to change the things that happened in the past to clear her husbands name an the debts. really great nature scenes that as a northeastern i treasure. It start with a letter...a letter to his daughter. A letter trying to explain how things got out of hand...because he just couldn't tel the truth. It was hard to read this book, hard, because I never likes the speaker. To me he kept justifying his anger, trid to win back his daughter with an explanation but in truth, he was a coward, plain and simple. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Her husband's suicide left Nora MacKenzie alone, and his shady Wall Street dealings left the Manhattan socialite penniless. By a miracle she's held on to their mountainside farm--and she'll keep holding on, no matter what. The property is Nora's one chance to wring some dignity out of the sham she's been living. The Vermont locals think she's a city girl on a nature kick, but she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. Nora's serious about learning the farming business ... if she can figure out where to begin. Against the locals' skepticism, she has only one ally: Charles 'C.W.' Walker. C.W. is hardworking, gentle with the animals and a patient teacher of the hundreds of chores Nora needs to learn. Slowly she starts to believe she'll survive in her new life, even flourish. She might even be willing to open her heart again. But she won't return to a life of lies ... and the truth about C.W. may be more than Nora's fragile heart can bear."--P. [4] of cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
