Outer Banks

De: Anne Rivers Siddons

Narrado por: C. J. Critt

“Captures the richness and complication of female friendships in a way few writers have done. . . incredibly rich characterizations and a profound sense of place.” — Cosmopolitan

In her magnificent classic Outer Banks, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons brilliantly recalls a lost time of hope and dreams—of comradeship, love, secrets, and betrayal—and creates characters brimming with life who will live in the heart forever.

In the uncertain ‘60s, four young women came together as sorority sisters on a Southern campus: elegant Kate; sensitive, sensible Cecie; sexy, vibrant and richer-than-sin Ginger; and poor, hopeless, brilliant Fig. At Nag’s Head, North Carolina, over the course of two idyllic spring breaks, their bonds of friendship were strengthened into something rare and powerfully binding. Now, thirty years later, they are returning to the isolated strip of barrier islands, hoping to recapture what has been lost—the love, the enthusiasm, the passion—and to finally understand what pulled them apart and cast them adrift.

loved this Book!!

I would put his up there with one of my favorite books ever! The characters are people that you would like to meet and be lifelong friends with.

Read the Book and Reread on Audible

I read the book many years ago and loved it so reread one Audible and loved it even more, in part due to the outstanding narration.
The characters are quirky and memorable. The closeness of girlfriends in college as they mature is described so well and is relatable.
I’ve read nearly all of Anne Rivers Siddons book and this is in the top three, behind Colony and Faultlines.

Ending

There is a major problem with the ending. I Replayed repeatedly to make certain I had not missed something.

Great listen!

I started to love Anne Rivers Siddons after listening to Fault Lines (also a great listen). I enjoyed Outer Banks immensely. It made me laugh and cry. Love the plot twist at the end.

Overall good book… I got frustrated with the heavy details…

This was overall a good book. I got aggravated with the lengthy details about sorority girls, their lives, the silliness, etc. but once I got past some of that and I could see a plot forming, I enjoyed it. It’s worth the read.
