All the Single Ladies

A Novel

De: Dorothea Benton Frank

Narrado por: Robin Miles

The perennial New York Times best-selling author returns with an emotionally resonant novel that illuminates the power of friendship in women's lives and is filled with her trademark wit; poignant and timely themes; sassy, flesh-and-blood characters; and the steamy Southern atmosphere and beauty of her beloved Carolina Lowcountry.

Few writers capture the complexities, pain, and joy of relationships - between friends, family members, husbands and wives, or lovers - as beloved New York Times best-selling author Dorothea Benton Frank. In this charming, evocative, soul-touching novel, she once again takes us deep into the heart of the magical Lowcountry, where three amazing middle-aged women are bonded by another amazing woman's death.

Through their shared loss, they forge a deep friendship, asking critical questions. Who was their friend, and what did her life mean? Are they living the lives they imagined for themselves? Will they ever be able to afford to retire? How will they maximize their happiness? Security? Health? And ultimately their own legacies?

A plan is conceived and unfurls with each turn of the tide during one sweltering summer on the Isle of Palms. Without ever fully realizing how close they were to the edge, they finally triumph amid laughter and maybe even newfound love.

Another great story

Love this novel and the narrator did an excellent job. I can't wait to read another novel by Benton Frank.

Loved It!

Listened to this book twice in a row. Enjoyed it as much the second time as the first.

Lovely for summer

Wonderful sweet story like a gin and tonic on a summer day . Will listen to it again next summer

Loved the characters

Great novel loved the narrator. The characters are memorable, I would love to see a sequel to this one!

Great and easy read/listing

Great book! Light and easy on the mind. I loved all of the low country references and descriptions. This book was also a great reminder to appreciate the people in my.

Lovely writing

I found Ms. Benton Franks work by accident and I have been trying to listen to everything she wrote. She was a wonderful storyteller who was taken to soon. RIP Ms Benton Frank

Thought I was going to be able to relate

I was disappointed with this book. It took me 17 chapters to get into the story. I don't enjoy all the "she said, he said". The last few chapters were the best but felt the storyline was lacking. Sorry.

Great girlfriend book!

Women of all ages unite to remind you of what friends will do to help each other in time of need. Thank you for reminding me.

enjoyed

I enjoyed the book. It was a light story that made you feel good. I enjoyed the smiles.

Delightfully Decadent

Sometimes a book finds you at just the right time; this was that book for me. DBF transported me to a lovely town with heart-warming characters who I enjoyed following their journey through the ups and downs of life. While I loved this book, reading too many books like this will ruin the feeling. Novels like this are meant to be enjoyed like truffles, only one or two every now and then. Too many too often and the decadent richness turns sour.
