Girl from the South Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Although the description of the South was fantastic, the writing was awful. Not the best novel I've read. "

" I really wish I had visited Charleston and the Carolina's when I was in the States. I will need to come back. Joanna Trollope is good at telling stories about relationships, in this book she does not let her self down. "

" I don't remember loving it, but I think the author writes well, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it. "

" Story of complicated relationships between, in and around, two couples. Apart from the fact that some of the writing was just brilliant in places and of the usual Trollope simplicity and standard, I didn't feel the same absorption with the characters. "

" The many characters in this book go round and round and chase their tail. The jacket cover says it's about "family" but it's more about "self". I finished it... but more because I was waiting for someone to do something than that I liked it. Not up to JT's usual quality. "

" I kept falling asleep and losing track of the characters. Henry and William seemed like the same person. I do like the name Tilly though- it would be a cute dog name "

" My first and only disappointment from Joanna Trollope. Transatlantic storytelling is difficult at best, and I'm not sure Trollope was fully able to capture the charms of Charleston or its people well enough to pull this one off. "

" Set in Charlston, South Carolina, and London, England, this book was a lot like my first H. Trollope, Marrying the Mistress, in that there wasn't just one protagonist, but many, whose fates are intertwined and jarred from stagnation by the breakup of one couple. A well-written page-turner. "
