In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, he will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift, they aren’t the first or last ghosts he sees.

nothing
Revisado: 02-16-25
no clue what we were working toward. ended the same disappointing way. very repetitive themes..nickname for characters, story has l kept overlapping with same twisting repetitive past story. Denis mentored a bit too often. only finished it to see the "point" of it.. still wondering.. wasted a lot of my time

Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline, and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors. Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl - but that’s just what happens with visitor Avery Greer and Littleport resident Sadie Loman. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable - until Sadie is found dead.

As an end-of-life doula, Nova Huston’s job - her calling, her purpose, her life - is to help terminally ill people make peace with their impending death. Unlike her business partner, who swears by her system of checklists, free-spirited Nova doesn’t shy away from difficult clients: the ones who are heartbreakingly young, or prickly, or desperate for a caregiver or companion.

Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel has a problem: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of profligate spending, and behind all the magazine covers and Instagram stories manors and yachts lies nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus’s scheming mother, is for Rufus to attend his sister’s wedding at a luxury eco-resort, a veritable who’s-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, and seduce a woman with money.

As a panicked world goes into lockdown, Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again, off-again friend, William. For the next several months, it’s just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the moody, swirling sea. Rich with empathy and emotion, Lucy by the Sea vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace, and possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire.

disappointing
Revisado: 04-28-23
hints at a story. sad and disturbing about what happens behind that convent wall to the young girls. then it abruptly stops. one man doing a good turn to another on Christmas eve. really too short and no sort of story at all. leaves you to fill in the rest. disappointed.

very slow week
Revisado: 10-18-13
Would you try another book from Sebastian Faulks and/or Simon Vance?
no
Has A Week in December turned you off from other books in this genre?
yes
How did the narrator detract from the book?
dull..no emotion..very British
Any additional comments?
too many characters... vaguely interesting how they all loosely connected... but intro to them all took way too long...disappointed in the ending... i was finally seeing where we were heading and it didn't happen... nothing happened.

Mudgirl is a child abandoned by her mother in the silty flats of the Black Snake River. Cast aside, Mudgirl survives by an accident of fate - or destiny. After her rescue, the well-meaning couple who adopt Mudgirl quarantine her poisonous history behind the barrier of their middle-class values, seemingly sealing it off forever. But the bulwark of the present proves surprisingly vulnerable to the agents of the past.

- Mudwoman
- De: Joyce Carol Oates
- Narrado por: Susan Ericksen
brilliant writing but disappointed
Revisado: 07-18-13
What did you like best about Mudwoman? What did you like least?
this author is gifted...her vocabulary and use of language is unparallelled. the reader was animated and easy to listen to. you could see the characters thru her
Would you ever listen to anything by Joyce Carol Oates again?
yes. usually very insightful
What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?
her enthusiasm and use of accents and animation
Do you think Mudwoman needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
definetly hope there is one because i hated the ending... thought i forgot to download a part.
Any additional comments?
very abrupt ending... makes me think i missed something... something important. other than a victory of sorts for the main character, i didn't feel like she was strong enough to avoid the demons that haunted her going foward.
