Milk Glass Moon (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" In this book you see Etta begin to become her woman and see how that changes Ave Maria's life. Really makes you want to read the next book. "

" Another touching story. Hit a little too close to home as a mother of an only daughter and cannot imagine her growing up and moving out:) I've heard that's why you experience them as teenagers so that you want them to grow up. "

" This third book focuses on Ave's relationship with her daughter and the loss of her son years ago. This is about her role as a mother. Ave has problems letting go and letting Etta be herself. She is trying to control Etta's life rather than letting Etta find herown way. This causes problems in their relationship. Ave often compares her relationship w ith Etta to her relationship with her mother and is disappointed that she Etta is not more open to her as a mother as she embraced her own mother. Etta's decision to marry someone in Italy instead of going to college is crushing to Ave and almost causes a permanent rift between her and her daushter; however, when Ave sees the joy that Etta shares with Stephane and the enthusiasm that her Italian family has for her daughter's marriage she goes along with the program and says nothing. She later finds that is the best thing she could have done. "

" This is the third book in the Big Stone Gap trilogy. It is very good and finishes the story. Trigiani is a wonderful writer and seems to understand people's nature. She captures the personality of the characters so well. I always go to her new books when they are issued. "

" Still a wonderful book, but not as interesting as the first 2. More focus on unruly teenagers and more predictable. Looking forward to the next. "

" A wonderful story about how change is necessary, and inevitable. "

" Third book in the Big Stone Gap Series. Devoured it in a matter of hours. Love the characters, love the cheesiness of it. Great summer read. "

" These last two books have made me want to travel to Ita-lee! Fun characters, and stories. It makes me appreciate small towns again! "

" I liked this as much as 1 and more than 2. I felt the story was easy to follow from the beginning and didn't jump around as much as 2 did. The ending was fun. I could stop here, but why when there's still book 4 to read!! Very readable author "

" A nice follow-up. And it was nice to read about these people again. They are becoming like friends and I fear I will miss them when the series ends. "

" A lovely tale of a family. "

" Hello, old friend. It's been about 10 years since I read the first two books in this trilogy. Ready to go back and re-read them now. "

" I liked it, but I skipped the book second book in the series. It was good though. "

" Not her best. But alright "

" The third novel in the Big Stone Gap series finds Ave Maria adjusting to life with her teenager daughter. The book was heavy on mother/daughter issues, but it kept things realistic. I enjoyed visiting the characters again. "

" I really enjoyed this book - and have enjoyed reading these books one after the other. Adriana Trigiani has a very light reading style and I enjoy sitting back and escaping into the worlds she has created. "

" There's something about the characters that Trigiani creates--they are very memorable. I've read all the Big Stone Gap books together, recently, for the first time, and the characters are sticking in my head. Good fun--great summer reading. "

" Somewhat less self-absorbed protagonist than previous effort. This one had almost too much about Italy (altho I LUV Italy!). The first one was the best of the 3. "

" Loved the 3rd book of the series! "

" I liked it but I wish I read this series in sequence! "

" Another good read, but I had to take a breake before I read the last in the series. "

" I don't know what it is about this series, but I just get so wrapped up in its world! "

" I liked that the author followed the story through the major milestones in the lead character's life. It was easy to identify with her, and love all the characters. "

" Delightful. Read it in one afternoon. "

" I read the other books in this series - the first, the second and the fourth - a long time ago, and somehow had missed the third which is this book. Wish I had read it in its proper order! "

" I enjoyed it, although it takes in a large span of time and tends to jump around a little bit. "

" Didn't enjoy this as much as the first two, but I suspect it's was because the focus was on the daughter rather than the mother. So long since I read it that I can't remember the characters' names... "

" Another good book in the Big Stone Gap series. I enjoyed reading about Ave Maria and her evolving relationship with her daughter, Etta. It was nice to see how the characters are evolving over the years. "

" This book you learn more about the mother-daughter relationship between Ava and Etta. It is fasinating to watch this women's life develop and change. The things that drive me nuts about Ava Marie are the same things that I count as my own weakness. "

" A must-read if you are a mother or soon-to-be. It is better than a parent's guide and really insightful. "

" Still a wonderful book, but not as interesting as the first 2. More focus on unruly teenagers and more predictable. Looking forward to the next. "

" I didn't like this one as well as the rest of the series, but it was still good. I'm looking forward to the next (and I think last) one. "

" really enjoyed this whole series and love Adriana Tigiani's books "

" This is a book that I just realized I read and hadn't included here. "

" 3rd in the series. The story moves along nicely and kept me reading. "

" Adriana Trigiani was a pleasant surprise at the book store. I quickly ready almost all of her books. I liked this series only slightly better than the other series (Italian family in NY). "

" my least favorite of the three in this series, but I do love the returning characters and the tying up of loose ends and the loyalty of this little community to one another. Some predictability and cheesiness, which I think decreased my enjoyment. a quick, light read. "

" Liked it better than book 2. "

" Another touching story. Hit a little too close to home as a mother of an only daughter and cannot imagine her growing up and moving out:) I've heard that's why you experience them as teenagers so that you want them to grow up. "

" I don't know what it is about this series, but I just get so wrapped up in its world! "

" A very nice easy enjoyable read. "
