Resumen del Editor

Bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry is back with a powerful novel about the stories we tell and the people we trust.

Eve and Cooper Morrison are Savannah's power couple. They're on every artistic board and deeply involved in the community. She owns and operates a letterpress studio specializing in the handmade; he runs a digital magazine featuring all things southern gentlemen. The perfect juxtaposition of the old and the new, Eve and Cooper are the beautiful people. The lucky ones. And they have the wealth and name that comes from being part of an old Georgia family.

But things may not be as good as they seem.

Eve's sister, Willa, is staying with the family until she gets "back on her feet." Their daughter, Gwen, is all adolescent rebellion. And Cooper thinks Eve works too much. Still, the Morrison marriage is strong. After twenty-one years together, Eve and Cooper know each other. They count on each other. They know what to expect. But when Cooper and Willa are involved in a car accident, the questions surrounding the event bring the family close to breaking point. Sifting between the stories—what Cooper says, what Willa remembers, what the evidence indicates—Eve has to find out what really happened. And what she's going to do about it.

A riveting story about the power of truth, The Stories we Tell will open your eyes and rearrange your heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Book clubs rejoice—your next pick is here! THE STORIES WE TELL unfolds in surprising ways; Patti Callahan Henry understands the delicate balance of power inside a marriage. They can look so externally perfect they can even fool even the people living inside them... for a little while. I loved her portrayal of a strong woman who isn’t afraid to be successful, even when others find it threatening, and who is bold enough to seek the truth, even when living inside the lies is safer and more comfortable.” —Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants and Ape House

“Patti Callahan Henry seamlessly combines mystery, family love, and personal journey all in one engrossing tale. From the intriguing beginning to the touching ending, The Stories We Tell is filled with the warmth, heart and compassion that have become the trademark of her novels.” —Diane Chamberlain, author of Necessary Lies

“THE STORIES WE TELL fearlessly explores the textures of the human heart, finding a path toward hope through a Savannah that is jagged with class issues, faith misused, and broken trust. Henry loses you in a landscape peopled with secret keepers, storytellers and liars, and proves that in the end, love is the only reliable compass. This is everything you expect from Patti Callahan Henry---lyrical writing, characters worth rooting for, a sure-footed belief in the power of goodness---plus a twisty plot that will keep the pages turning long into the night.” —Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else’s Love Story

This is a terrific summer read

Enjoyed the story & the performance .... This is just the type of story I look for while on vacation or laying on the beach somewhere. The narrator was just Southern enough so you new she was from the South but not over the top....

Beautiful Story

Loved this book. Beautiful story w/, as always, spectacular narration when Andi is the story teller.
I highly recommend this book.

Much angst and cluelessness

Eve, the narrator in THE STORIES WE TELL by Patti Callahan Henry, does a lot of hand wringing without actually wringing her hands.

Long on angst and short on sympathetic characters, I continued looking at the time remaining on my audiobook. Willa and Max were the only characters I could tolerate.
If you like clueless MC’s and southern fiction, you might enjoy THE STORIES WE TELL more than me.

Too simplistic

Couldn’t take the southern drawl and it was just too simple and silly. I guess if you like to watch the “Days of our lives” you will enjoy it. Not for me
