Outer Banks is a masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: Outer Banks (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all I'd like to say that I'm spanish, so my english is not very good, but I think that is posible to express my point of view about Outer Banks, I finished to read, today and right now I'm sad, because I was very envolved in that atmosphere and I'll gonna miss the story, I loved his book, and I think that Anne Rivers Siddons have a wonderfull talent and she made me think about to much things and she specially made me smile and cry at the same time, so I would like to congratulation you, MRS. Anne Rivers Siddons. Stella Garcia

A larger-than-life story with crisp, emotional characters.,
By
This review is from: Outer Banks (Mass Market Paperback)
This author never disappoints me with her garrulous prose and characters that stay with you well beyond the telling of the tale. The cool, aristocratic Kate, tells us the story of four friends that come together as members of a women's sorority house in college. The tiny, elflike Cecie is closest to Kate's heart, and their friendship becomes the staple of her college existence. Ginger and Fig share the room next door in this campus domicile that fills the hours of all their lives till graduation. Things are not always as they seem and life throws some curve balls that are unexpected by our Kate. These are times of great loves, and friendships, as well as great sorrows. Though devastating as it can be, life must go on and people do survive the disappointment that wreaks havoc with the plans of a lifetime. It is many years later and the women have decided to come together at Ginger's beach house on the Outer Banks. Who is the perpetrator that has manipulated this situation and what lies ahead for the group? It is an engrossing tale from start to finish. Kelsana 6/4/02

Can You Go Back?,
By booknblueslady (Woodland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outer Banks (Mass Market Paperback)
Anne Rivers Siddons, the author of Outer Banks is comfortable explaining the southern soul, but she also understands the depth of friendships that develop during a young woman's formative years. Many of us can remember the deep friendships we formed when away at college for the first time. We often look at these friendships with idealism and nostalgia. Kate who is fighting a battle with cancer is asked to attend a reunion with her three closest college friends, Cecie, Ginger and Fig. Kate is unsure that she wants to return or see these friends again. There was a time when she loved them dearly, but that time is long past and betrayals bridge that gap. Siddons presents a book in which things are not what they seem . There are numerous deceptions and undercurrents beneath the surface of the happy reunion. Each participate has developed their own agenda and their perception of their happy college life differs vastly. The setting of the outer banks is intriguing and the reader feels the attraction of the sun and ocean. Soon the reader also begins to feel the compelling and seductive force of the waves and is effect on the lives of those of the shore dwellers. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy stories about complex relationships
