The View from Alameda Island

De: Robyn Carr

Narrado por: Therese Plummer

A poignant and powerful story about how one woman’s best intentions lead to the worst of situations and how love helps her to heal and ultimately triumph.

From the outside looking in, Lauren Delaney has a life to envy—a successful career, a solid marriage to a prominent surgeon, and two beautiful daughters who are off to good colleges. But on her 24th wedding anniversary, Lauren makes a decision that will change everything.

Lauren won’t pretend things are perfect anymore. She defies the controlling husband who has privately mistreated her throughout their marriage and files for divorce. And as she starts her new life, she meets a kindred spirit—a man who is also struggling with the decision to end his unhappy marriage.

But Lauren’s husband wants his “perfect” life back, and his actions are shocking. Facing an uncertain future, Lauren discovers an inner strength she didn’t know she had as she fights for the love and happiness she deserves.

LOVE this story!

Robyn Carr has done it again! I LOVE this story!! I want more! I hope this becomes a series!! PLEASE!

Interesting story

I decided to read this because I love the author and her previous works. This was a great story and well written. I really enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how realistic they were. I enjoyed learning a little bit more about the part of the country that this story was set in. For me, the romance was lacking compared to some of my favorite Robyn Carr books but I realize that’s not the point or genre she may have been going for. Overall another five star book from a great author.

Enjoyable

This was enjoyable although a little predictable, controlling abusive husband and wife who finally decides to leave after 24 years. The story of abuse is quite well done and I was interested to find whst happens.

Another great read from Robyn Carr!

Robyn Carr never disappoints. Her books deliver a great story. I wish she could write as fast as I can read.

Excellent Book

I’ve always love reading Robyn Carr books but I think this one is exceptional. Fantastic storyline, and characters are great. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I highly recommend getting this book.

Just what I needed..

A love story that I could relate to. Nothing comes easy..
I enjoyed the characters and the relationships in this story..
Thank you Robyn Carr!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s a slow paced book, but a good listen

Anything by Robyn Carr with Theresa Plummer narrating is an enjoyable listen. Both are very talented people. However, this book was a bit too slow and I had to fast forward through a couple minutes here and there. As always the last couple hours are filled with twists and unforeseen events that make me glad I listened.

Better vocabulary

I have read many if your books and have expressed the same thing. T O D A Y you(Carr) Who is well read, need to expand your vocabulary.
