Tapestry of Fortunes

De: Elizabeth Berg

Narrado por: Barbara Caruso

Cecilia Ross is looking for a change. She has decided to take time off from her job as a successful motivational speaker and sell her home. She moves in to a beautiful old house in St. Paul, Minnesota, complete with a big front porch, a wild garden, a chef's kitchen - and three roommates. The four women are different ages, but all are feeling restless, and want to take a roadtrip to find the people and things they miss. One woman wants to connect with a daughter she gave away at birth; another wants to visit her long-absent ex-husband; a third woman, a professional chef, is seeking new inspiration from the restaurants along the way. And Cecilia is looking for Dennis Halsinger, the man she never got over, who recently sent her a postcard out of the blue. This novel is classic Elizabeth Berg - a portrait of how women grow through the relationships that define them, and a testament to the power of female friendship.

Another lovely and poignant novel by Elizabeth Berg!

I love the way her characters are fleshed out and their different voices done excellently by the narrator. Most of all I love the simple things in life that come alive through Elizabeth’s words..it reminds me to stop and appreciate all
those things in my own life too, I think about her books for days after finishing them, looking to see how I can apply anything to my life that I’ve learned through reading her books. They always feel like a warm blanket to my mind, heart and legs!

Always My Best Friend

I've read this book at least a dozen times. My soul will yearn and I know I need a refill of the truth of this story. I can only encourage you to give it a try. It's absolutely wonderful.

Elizabeth Berg is the best!

Every single word in this book is pure magic. The narrator did a fantastic job. Highly recommend!

I loved the book and the friendships of the women

I wish the book had gone on and on until I found out about how all the characters were doing. It was a book that made me want to go on a road trip.

Did Barbara Caruso do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, but her voice is older than I picture the characters in my head.

No, I think she summed them up.
