内容説明
Folly Beach, South Carolina, with its glistening beaches, laid-back Southern charm, and enticing Gullah tradition, is the land of Cate Cooper’s childhood, the place where all the ghosts of her past roam freely. Now, thanks to a newly deceased husband whose financial and emotional perfidy has left her homeless and broke, she’s returning to this lovely strip of coast.
Once, another woman found comfort here: an artist, writer, and sometime colleague of the revered George Gershwin. With her beloved husband, DuBose, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the greatest moments of her life at Folly. Though the Heywards are long gone, their passion and spirit linger in every ocean breeze.
To her surprise, Cate is about to discover that you can go home again, for Folly holds the possibility of unexpected fulfillment—not just the memories of the girl she was, but the promise of the woman she’s always wanted to become. . . .

What was she thinking
2011/7/3
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
Like many other reviewers I was very disappointed in this book. I am a huge Frank fan and have read all her previous books. For me, this book isn't anywhere near as good as her early books. The book does have some funny parts, but the book is hard to get into, which wouldn't be a problem if there had been a pay-off for the effort in the end. There wasn't. The book is ambitious, weaving history and present-day, but just doesn't reach its full potential. I just have to wonder what on earth she and her editor were thinking when they let this book go to publication. It's not the Frank I know. Again, that would be fine if the book was actually good. This one just wasn't.
Unfortunately, this is another author who will no longer be an automatic buy for me. I will check reviews first, then head for the library. Overall, the book falls short in too many areas to be a three-star book and just has too many obvious contrivances to make it a good read.
For those interested in reading it, I'd suggest getting it from the library or waiting for the paperback version. There are so many other books well worth purchasing. Sadly, this one was not one of them for me.

Oh, Dorothea! I waited for this????

形式:ハードカバー
I was so excited to have this new book in time for summer reading!! I am a big Frank fan and this was to be a perfect companion on those long hot days.....("was" is the operative word!)The story line was so mundane and the characters were silly and childlike ...no balance, no interest no nothing~! The looooooong and totally silly flashbacks of waiting for Gershwin--please STOP! Really! Over and over and over...there was never anything said in the chapter after chapter of rambling on about nothing...sheesh! And the main character Cate and how she becomes poor and her husband's death and the piano...really? REALLY? So, just to recap on Cate-- you are a mess after being thrown from your home and have nothing..you are on your way to moving into a darling beach house owned by your eccentric Aunt and you back your car into a super-handsome and delightful stranger who falls in love with you.....REALLY? REALLY??? Pitiful and trite. This kind of story line makes you grit your teeth with the cloying sweet..ick.
Unremarkable, unbelievable and totally forgettable. My sister and my best friend had the same reaction..except they did not even finish it..I stuck with it till the ridiculous ending and now THAT was a total waste of time. But I think I am most upset about being let down my one of my favorite authors--hard to forgive this one! Where were her editors? Why didn't they catch this one before release to the public? I have read the other glowing reviews and wonder if we got the same book..or are my standards for Frank set high after enjoying her previous books so much? hmmm...not sure, but now I have to get back to the hunt for something to read this summer to clear the mind-numbing Folly Beach from my memory. Gave it away with warning..so sad about this one!

Just Doesn't Compare

I have read with excitement all of her books but this one was like it was written by someone else.
Slow to get into, slow to get through the flashbacks and difficult to stay focused on the writing.
I bought my book and will donate it to a cause and hope someone likes it more than I have.
