The Vineyard Remains

A Novel

De: Addison McKnight

Narrado por: Carlotta Brentan, Maria McCann, Angelina Rocca

Two women, brought together by tragedy, strive to find themselves on Martha’s Vineyard. But it’s not easy to heal old wounds in a powerful novel about family, secrets, motherhood, and the cold grip of the past.

A desperate murder committed by Angela Miller’s mother tore Angela’s life apart and brought her to Martha’s Vineyard to live with her wealthy grandparents. It’s where her cousin, Kiki King, was born and raised, and Kiki now wants nothing more than to see the world beyond its sandy perimeter. Kiki’s mother escaped it. She took a late-night swim off Tashmoo Beach and was never seen again.

Once bound by broken childhoods, Angela and Kiki have grown up divided—by their obsessions, their love for the same man, and their own conflicted journeys of motherhood. But when a small box of bones is unearthed in the woods, Angela and Kiki discover there’s so much more to learn about each other, their families, and the dark side of the picturesque island they call home.

It’s time for Angela and Kiki to expose their secrets, to finally end a cycle of family drama and anguish, and to forgive and make peace with the past on their own terms.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Secrets wash up like seawater in Addison McKnight's island tale of betrayal and deception, which proves one age-old truth. Nobody can hurt you like those who love you best.”—Jenny Milchman, USA Today bestselling author of Cover of Snow and The Usual Silence

“Suspenseful, dark, and emotionally riveting, The Vineyard Remains contrasts an idyllic setting with complex family secrets, which makes for a pacey and intense read.”—May Cobb, author of A Likeable Woman

“The Vineyard Remains is a fast-paced, juicy read filled with bad blood and backstabbing, but beyond the dark secrets and tangled relationships at the center of the story is a necessary exploration of the ways in which trauma pins us to our past while trying to dominate our present.”—Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot

Great narration.

Enjoyed the story of two cousins at odds over a man and the many lies they endured.

Couldn’t put it DOWN!

I read this book in just a few days. Once I was hooked I couldn’t put it down.

Good story but didn't care for the narrator

The story was well enough written, perhaps a bit too drawn out. But it still kept me interested. But the narration, as clear and understandable as it was, just annoyed me. I think it was the clipped words that happened when the narrator was doing other voices besides the 2 main female characters..

Intriguing Story

Well written and narrated. Story kept me reading even if I was frustrated by some of the the characters inability to rectify their situation. The story could be a huge trigger for women who are stuck in such horrible situations with no means of help or support.

Kept My Interest

The story was good, though not totally believable in a few parts. I didn’t care for the narrator who did Kiki’s voice, but the others were good. Overall an entertaining listen.
