Su questo libro

Recensione:

“One of her best novels to date. . . . A beautifully detailed evocation of privileged lives.” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

“As always, Siddons writes with a graceful lushness, evoking the wild salt marshes of the coast and Charleston’s candlelit-drawing rooms with equal ease. . . . Good reading.” (Orlando Sentinel)

“Anne Rivers Siddons’ settings and characters help readers fathom the [South’s] people and pockets of uniqueness that have survived an overlay of sameness. At the same time, she delivers riveting reads. Islands continues that tradition by offering readers the equivalent of leaving the lookalike interstate highway exits for human-scale rural roads of the mind.” (Denver Post)

“Anne Rivers Siddons is a master at constructing a concrete framework and evoking a mood, particularly when her milieu is her beloved Low Country of South Carolina.” (Nashville Tennessean)

“Readers [will] linger over Islands.” (Memphis Commercial Appeal)

“Siddons fans will applaud this latest effort. It’s everything you want in entertaining, escape reading. . . . Islands perfectly captures the magic and atmosphere of Charleston. Many readers will identify with her characters, or, at the very least, be fascinated with a lifestyle that they may not experience but to which they aspire.” (Chattanooga Free Press)

“Excellent. . . . wonderful, lyrical prose that sweeps and sings and soars.” (Publishers Weekly)
