The Year of Pleasures Audiobook

" I really liked it although about a subject I really don't want to deal with! Loved the part where she reconnected with college friends. Sounds like a bunch of Wells girls. "

" Dealing with grief leads a woman to discover the simple pleasures of life. "

" A sweet story about love, grief and reconnecting with old friends "

" Loved it - wonderful writing and great characters that you want to hear about. "

" well...it was free and I needed something simple to read in a day while netflix was inaccessible. what can I say. "

" This is my favorite (so far) of Elizabeth Berg's novels. "

" This is one of those books that just stayed with me. It's about a newly widowed woman who is trying to reconnect with her friends after her husband passes away. "

" It was OK. I kept waiting for some climatic moment that never really came and the ending seemed pretty predictable. I guess i just never warmed to the main character which made it less enjoyable to read. "

" Not my favorite of hers..but still her, so I loved it enough. "

" Read this a while back, forgot how much I loved her writing and then rediscovered her again two more times. Berg writes such interesting people. "

" One of the better Elizabeth Berg titles: here, her trademark stream-of-consciousness (which she has a tendency to abuse, a la 'confessional' letter mode) works pretty well. "

" I listened to the CD and would highly recommend this version. Thought-provoking and poignant. "

" Any thing that makes me sad and happy at the same time I will recommend. I always look forward to reading Elizabeth's books. "

" I thought I really liked this until about half way through when I began to tire of the schmaltzy woman who was finding it hard to adjust to being a widow. There were some interesting minor characters. Ok I guess. "

" After just finishing one of Berg's other books, We Are All Welcome Here which I really enjoyed this was a big disappointment. I didn't even finish it because I just didn't care. "

" Although I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Berg, I found this story rather predictable and uninspiring. "

" First, the title is a bald-faced lie. "Mourning My Dead Husband and Eating Gingerbread for Breakfast." that said, I'm sure that this book would be more appropriate for baby boomers, one of which I am not. "

" Loved this book! Easy read, good story "

" Picked this one up from the library yesterday afternoon and finished it this morning. I was sobbing by page 20 and didn't want to put it down for the night. It was a quick read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" Really liked this book. Another one of those books that you just want to share with someone so you can talk about it and some of the complexities and themes running through it. Women and the friends they make "

" I liked the book. Starting over is just part of the journey. "

" I love all the characters in the book. I gave it a 4-star rating because I felt the book really didn't bring all the ends together at the end. It seemed like the story needed a little more cohesion. It ended too soon. "

" A brainless story I listened to while in the hospital with John. It was a book I could have left unfinished. A story about a woman who is widowed at 50 and spends the next year trying to figure out how to navigate the world without her much loved husband. "

" comfy writing...quick read....good bed time novel. Could relate to the age and personality of the main character. Best thing about the book is her ability to describe and BE in the moment. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was very meaningful to me personally. "

" What a great story and so beautifully written. I love finding books like this where I just want to jump into the pages and become a part of the characters lives. "

" One of my all time favorite books by a wonderful author. The language, the feelings, the images are all perfect. "

" A unique style of writing - face value, to the point, blunt, unforgiving. Love it. Makes you take stock of yourself in a way only Berg can manage without offending you as a reader or as a human. "

" This is such a beautifully written account of a resilient woman's year of adventure after her beloved husband's death. Alternately heartrending and humorous... "

" So far my favorite Elizabeth Berg book! "
