Coast Road

De: Barbara Delinsky

Narrado por: Laura Hicks

Hailed as “a heartwarming story” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), a celebration of what matters most in life, Barbara Delinsky’s profoundly moving New York Times bestseller is as richly textured and captivating as the Northern California landscape in which it is set.

Jack McGill chose his architectural career over his family, and returned home from yet another business trip to find that his wife, Rachel, had left him. Now, six years later, a car accident has left Rachel clinging to life, and she and their two daughters desperately need him. Putting work on hold for the first time in his life, Jack decides to sit by his ex-wife's bedside. As he meets Rachel's many new friends, and tries to cope with two teenage daughters and their problems, he learns more about a woman he never really knew, her expressive art, and the secret that made her leave. Much to his astonishment, Jack begins to see Rachel, his daughters, and the story of his marriage with new eyes.

Enjoyable summer read

Would you listen to Coast Road again? Why?

I am amazed by the differences of opinion when rating a book! I like Barbara Delinsky because she writes stories about couples that make their marriages work. They do the hard work and stay together or get back together. My favorite of her stories like this was Escape. This story was very believable and well played out. Jack is a great character. He gets his act together and realizes it's not all about him.

Have you listened to any of Laura Hicks’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I enjoyed the narrator very much. She gave each character a voice and did a good job of it.

Any additional comments?

If you're looking for a riveting compelling story, this is not it. This is a fun escape from the day. Go sit outside with a glass of iced coffee and Coast Road on your iPod and relax!

Totally enjoyable

This was a very heart warming book and totally enjoyed readying it. Its one you don't want to put down....... a story is so well written, and worth buying.

Only Barbara can write like this!

Barbara Delinsky is my favorite author. I own most of her books. Please keep writing!!

Touching Love Story

I really liked the story line. While others may think it to unrealistic I think at times we all need to be reminded of true lasting love.

Heartfelt, funny, love.

I haven’t enjoyed a read so much on years, and I’m 83. Thank you for your time and talent.
