Criticism Epithetical Books Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales #1)

I enjoyed reading about steamy and stormy Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, so different from our beautiful mountainous desert. My favorite character was Livvie, a descendant of African slaves, who lovingly worked for and cared for a dysfuntional Southern family. Here are some sentences from the book that suggest Livvie's sage and spiritual views:"Her passion for righteousness was stronger than our frenzy."Livvie said, "When folks around you do crazy things, it's the devil

As in so many audiobooks, the narrator makes or breaks the story, thus the two stars. Might have been three if I had read a print copy. It was irritating to me because the southern accent was inconsistent. I realize that sometimes they were mimicking Livey, but sometimes it was hard to tell who was talking. It was not necessary to have the narrator sound like she was leaving the sound booth when the characters said, "Hello!" or "I'll be down in a minute."Moving between the two eras, 1963 and

Well, as Ive mentioned before, I have committed myself to quite a bit of reading latelyI dont usually do that, as Im one who prefers to just pick up and read whatever strikes my fancy at that particular moment in time. But, as a result of a round-robin Im involved with, I recently received some titles that I probably wouldnt have picked up if left to my own devices.

I've read one other book by Dorothea Benton Frank, and I really enjoyed it. I picked up Sullivan's Island at the YMCA lending library and I felt like I was reading the same book, or at least a variation on that book.Strong middle aged female gets dumped by her husband of many years for a sweet young thing. There's a lot of rehashing of the past, which is the only thing that made the book worth reading. The 1960's south always makes for good reading. I adored Livvie and the fact that Susan's

Read the book while vacationing at pawleys island South Carolina. It was easy to get into the scene since that is the area around which it is located. It was a good beach read and had some fun humor and good dialogue in it about a women coming to grips in middle age and finding herself. It was not super deep but it had moments. Good beach read.

The setting is Sullivan Island in South Carolinas low country. Im fascinated with this part of the country and the tough, scrappy folks it fosters. The story is told with a sharp, cutting humor and blunt truths. I laughed out loud and cried with the characters. Cant wait to start the next book in the series.
