The Ladies' Room

De: Carolyn Brown

Narrado por: Donna Postel

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Secrets told in the church ladies' room are supposed to stay in the ladies' room. But that doesn't mean that what Trudy overhears there during her great-aunt Gertrude's funeral won't change the rest of her life.

Trudy has a daughter in the middle of a major rebellion, a two-timing husband who has been cheating for their entire married life, and a mother with Alzheimer's residing in the local nursing home. She doesn't really need a crumbling old house about to fall into nothing but a pile of memories and broken knickknacks.

Billy Lee Tucker, resident oddball in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, lived next door to Gert, and in her will she leaves him the funds to help Trudy remodel the old house. That's fine with Billy Lee, because he's been in love with Trudy since before they started school. And just spending time with her is something he'd never ever allowed himself to dream about.

A beautiful home rises up from the old house on Broadway, and right along with it rises up a relationship. But is Trudy too scarred from what she heard in the ladies' room to see a lovely future with Billy Lee?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Donna Postel creates a glowing narration in this whimsical Southern tale about life’s unpredictable twists and turns.... Postel excels in showcasing Trudy’s fierce new independence. Her reading demonstrates the perfect recipe for a pleasing performance." (AudioFile)

Simplistic and unrealistic

Story was too simplistic. Billy Lee wasn't well rounded, he was simply too nice. Story was predictable. Listened to the whole thing because once I start a book, I finish it. Sweet, light read but no depth.

Hilarious!!

Occasionally a book comes along that makes you laugh, cry, find yourself and cheer changes;this is one of those books. in my mind's eye I could see people I know doing many of the things these characters did. I hope her next book I listen to is as entertaining.

Random book that I got

I had never heard of the author and was pleasantly surprised. The story was good as was the reader. I usually listen to spy/mystery. It was good to listen to nice book instead of a trashy one. I will l

Humorous!

The writer gave the main character a wonderful sense of humor and rich personality. i really enjoyed this book.
