I haven't read much by this author, but I really enjoyed this book. It is about friendship and romance through the eyes of one character. It kept my attention and I read it very quickly. This was a great book to read while lying by the pool.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It helped that I have visited the outer banks twice now but even if you are not familiar with the banks, the author just makes it appear in you mind as beautifully as an artist could paint it. The story is a heart wrenching and enjoyable tale of four friends and a man and how they all are wrapped in each others lives from collage to there elderly days. I enjoyed every word of it. Please read this book and you won't be sorry. Enjoy!
Another wonderful book by Siddons with an idyllic setting in the Outer Banks on the North Carolina coast. It takes you away to the grand old weatherbeaten houses on the edge of the sea.
The story follows 4 ladies through the travil of college romance and sisterhood, then picks them up 28yrs. later and resolves their major psychiatric problems, some happilyh, others not so. If you like the last minute convolutions Ms.Siddons is known for, you will enjoy this novel. It would make a good summer vacation read.

A story that begins with 4 sorority sisters and ends 30 years later when they come back together in the south to experience again the love, the enthusiasm, the passion, pain and betrayal that made them into the woman they have become.
