Outer Banks

By: Anne Rivers Siddons

Narrated by: Kate Nelligan

In the uncertain ’60s, four young women came together as sorority sisters on a Southern campus: elegant Kate; sensitive, sensible Cecie; sexy, vibrant, and richer-than-sin Ginger; and poor, hopeless, brilliant Fig. At Nag’s Head, North Carolina, over the course of two idyllic spring breaks, their bonds of friendship were strengthened into something rare and powerfully binding. Now, decades later, they are returning to this isolated strip of barrier islands, hoping to recapture what has been lost—the love, the enthusiasm, the passion—and to finally understand what pulled them apart and cast them adrift.

In her magnificent classic Outer Banks, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons brilliantly recalls a lost time of hope and dreams—of comradeship, love, secrets, and betrayal—and creates characters brimming with life who will live in the heart forever.

One of my favorites by Anne Rivers Siddons.

One of my favorite books by Siddons and I enjoyed the narrator's performance. Worth it!

Ramble Ramble Ramble

By the title and description it looked like a really good story. But the author just rambles and skips all over the place. The story is hard to follow and the characters are not very endearing. I could only take about 1 hour of it and just turned it off.

Abridged but not bad ...

I was so excited to see this available that I didn't notice it was abridged. I was sad to learn how much was missing, but the story is still there. I loved the novel when I read it years ago and took a vacation there because of this very book.
It's worth listening to if you buy if for under $5 like I did. Otherwise, go get the book at your library and read the whole thing!
