Maybe I'm just getting old, but with the back and forth between 'present day' Wyoming and 1968 Viet Nam, I got confused from time to time. Still a good story.

I almost made it to the end of this book, but then I realized that I didn't care what happened, too depressing to read during self quarantine.

The author tries to be funny, but sometimes tries too hard.

Wow this book has so many layers, where you end up is not where you start out, or where you think you'll end up. Lizzie, raised by her uncle, Father Mike, is taken from him, he dies, she grows up with out him. Years later she is in a horrible accident, and he comes to her in a dream. The ending keeps changing, things are revealed that you never saw coming. A haunting book, to say the least.

Typical John Grisham, full of hard working lawyers, lying lawyers, hard working judges and lying judges.

Not a bad story, different I'd say. But since it's from the 'Covid/pandemic/quarantine/lockdown' era, the author felt compelled to add that in at the very end. Otherwise a good read.

For the first time in a long time, I actually got a little misty eyed at the end of this book. I liked that the dog is the narrator-he is probably the most likable character in the book. This was a quick read-and even though I cried a little at the end, I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed it-what happens when you you find out not only is your husband dead, but he's been found murdered in a call girls apartment??? Not sure if I would have gone to all the trouble that Susie Gersten does to find her husband's killer (considering where he was found)-but it moved quickly and kept my interest.

There are a lot of characters in this book, and they all have stories. Just when you think this is a story about one character, it goes in another character's direction. They all intertwine, back and forth. I can't say I loved it, but I didn't hate it.

Well written, fast paced story-loved the heroine. Looking forward to reading the next in the series. Ms. Rimington knows what she writes about.

I felt this story was quite sad, really. Rebecca Davitch realizes that maybe she is living the wrong life-but how to change it? Set in Baltimore, at the end of the 20th century, she is a woman who tries to please everyone, especially her family. When she starts to have doubts about the way her life has gone,---- *SPOILER ALERT* ---- she tracks down an old 'friend' to see if she did in fact make a mistake way back when. I think all, or at least most, 'middle-aged' women will identify with her- what if I'd done it differently?? Lots of characters,lots of family turmoil,a quick read.

Beautiful and tragic story of Rose Mae/Ro/Ivy. Left by her mother, left her father, and finally her abusive husband. Amazing story of what a mother will do for/do to her child.

An easy read, Belle is certainly a woman for the 20th century. For the most part light and fun, however there are plenty of 'Klan' moments to sober you up. They show how someone you thought was a good person could turn out not to be in the blink of an eye. Enjoyable none the less. A good history lesson.
