Open House

De: Elizabeth Berg

Narrado por: Becky Baker

Samantha Morrow's husband has left her, and now she must strive to reconstruct a life for herself and her 11-year-old son. Her eccentric mother tries to help by fixing her up with dates, but a more pressing problem is money. To meet her mortgage payments, Sam decides to take in boarders. A new friend suggests that Samantha get out, get going, get work. But her real work is this: In order to emerge from grief and the past, she has to learn how to make her own happiness. And in order to know who she is, she has to remember - and reclaim - the person she used to be, long before she became someone else in an effort to save her marriage.

Open House is the unforgettable story of how a woman re-creates her life after divorce by opening her house to strangers and her heart to the simple miracle of possibility.

"Savvy, wry, and sharply observant." (The Denver Post)

Not really exciting

I liked the beginning and I liked the ending. I didn’t really see the ebbs and flows of trying to find yourself after divorce. I also wasn’t crazy on the writing. I felt like there was a lot of repetitive phrases. The chapters also just stopped which I thought was strange. This book was just okay for me

lovely
