( ) 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. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Olivia Lockhart--Calle Lighthouse, 16--Cedar Cove, Washington--Querida lectora, Aun no me conoces, pero eso va a cambiar en unas horas. Quiero invitarte a mi casa y a mi ciudad, Cedar Cove, para que conozcas a mi familia, a mis amigos y a mis vecinos. Ven a conocer sus historias... e incluso sus secretos!En cuanto a mi, debo admitir que mi vida es como un libro abierto. Me divorcie hace un par de anos, y tengo una relacion bastante... difcil con mi hija, Justine. Por no hablar de mi madre, Charlotte, que tiene opiniones acerca de todo y nunca se las calla.Para que te hagas una idea: soy juez de familia, y a ella le encanta venir al juzgado. Hace poco, estaba en la vista de una peticion de divorcio, y Charlotte considero que la joven pareja, Ian y Cecilia Randall, no se habia esforzado lo suficiente para intentar que su matrimonio funcionara. Yo pensaba lo mismo, as que denegu la peticion de divorcio, pero mi decision provoco una reaccion desmedida. Jack Griffin, el editor del peridico local (un hombre al que no me importara ver mas a menudo), escribi un articulo al respecto, y ahora no se habla de otra cosa. Cedar Cove... todo el mundo adora esta ciudad, y el que se va, nunca la olvida.--Hasta pronto,Olivia. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
