The Gray Lady of Long Branch: If walls could talk af Maura Satchell
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The idea of a house telling stories about the many people who have lived within its walls seems like an interesting idea. I thought I would enjoy this more than I actually did. The stories are good and often reflect historical events that happened over 60 years or so. I wanted the stories to be more cohesive and the characters to have more depth.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Decent story of a family and their grand beach house. Enjoyable read with interesting links between events going on in the world and how it affected the lives of those within the walls of this grand Victorian home.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I received a copy from the publisher via Librarything to read and review.
The premise of the story interested me. A house telling the stories of the people who had stayed within her walls sounded very intriguing.
When I first started reading I didn’t get the idea of the story. They were all short stories that didn’t seem to have any connection, un til I realised that it was about world events and how these events affected the people that stayed at the holiday house.
The stories started to grow on me when John and Mary DiStefano bought the house and I could watch the family grow and read their stories interspersed with the stories of other holiday makers.
With mentions of war, baseball, race riots, Woodstock, music, TV, 9/11 and many more world events it makes this story a small history of the world and society.
Simply written this is an easy read and I did become emotionally attached to the DiStefano family and their highs and lows of life.
The twist at the end made it all much clearer.… (mere)
