House on Olive Street (Audible Audio Edition) Robyn Carr Christina Moore Recorded Books Books
I have to admit this is one of the best books I have read in a long time! Not only because my best friend for 75 years happens to live on Olive St., in Fair Oaks, Ca (who could have guessed)! The books revolved around the lives of four friends who gathered weekly at the house on Olive St,, they range in age from mid 20's to mid 60's - what a generation gap! But that gap is combined with a whole lot of living! The characters show a depth beyond what we usually find. I love the housewife whose husband and kids are slobs (can so relate to her!!) and all the other characters. We find kindred spirits in all of them. I have recommended this book so many times - to book clubs and friends alike. It is great! Human! Loving! Giving! Super! And I certainly recommended it to my best friend since birth who now happens to live on Olive St, In Fair Oaks, CA!Product details

House on Olive Street (Audible Audio Edition) Robyn Carr Christina Moore Recorded Books Books Reviews
The plot sounded interesting but I quickly deleted it from my library because I didn't care for the domestic violence of one couple or the foul language of one family. Sorry, I don't even remember -- or care to remember -- their names. Not my style. There's enough such behavior in the world but I don't need to invite it into my life and home. I sometimes share my /iPad with my grandchildren and certainly wouldn't want them reading it -- or even thinking that I read it.
Five writers from very different backgrounds and of different ages have bonded and created a writers circle. Unfortunately, Gabby, the one who really kept them all together and whose house was used as a sort of club house, has just passed away. But she tasks the girls with one more project; put together her papers and manuscripts. This leads to a summer of discovery for each of the four women and brings them to places they never saw themselves going.
This is a great novel of how friendships help to clarify things that you can't figure out for yourself. Each woman has her own strengths, which she lends to the others to help them discover what it is they need to do to be truly happy. The best part is not only are the four main characters well written and lovable, but the side characters are also extremely interesting and have dimensions to them. So you end up in a world full of zany and funny people just waiting for you to get to know them.
This is a great feel-good novel. Nothing complicated, just an easy fun beach read.
This is the second book I've read by Carr, and I really enjoyed it.This is a good book. It's about the relationship between five now four completely different women with totally different lives who all just happen to be writers of various genres. A highly entertaining book book, with complex characters, and an intricate, layered plot. I recommend it to the reading community. I plan to read more of Carr's books. Check it out.
I want to live in this house with these women! This story goes beyond a simple work of fiction. It's an empathetic, sympathetic, life-worn, pull-it-out-of-the-closet masterpiece. I read this book because I love Robyn Carr's writing, and because it's been sitting in my collecting dust and making me feel guilty for leaving it there unread. And now, having read it? I'm kicking myself for taking so long. So many of life's trials and accomplishments, sorrows and joys shouldn't be allowed in one book. Robyn Carr took four characters through the wringer and brought them out whole on the other side, leaving so many instructions for those of us not living our lives to the fullest. Sound maudlin? Not in Ms. Carr's capable hands. Go along with these women. Cry with them, laugh with them, love life with them. You won't be disappointed in this book.
One of the most inspiring and fascinating books I've read in a long time. A small group of close friends, all professional writers, some successful but others not so much, must deal with the loss of the dearest member of their group who dies suddenly and unexpectedly. The rest of them rally around to sort out their friend's unfinished writings and estate, and in the process find their personal lives changing very differently to what they had expected or planned. Any woman who has had friends who are closer than blood-sisters will relate to and be touched by this story. Highly recommended.
This is a stand alone read. Although I read about two books a day of various types, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, literary and political criticism etc. I review very, very few books because it takes time I could be reading or doing other things and my day is very full. I'm not a book snob. I like a good, well written hearty book that makes me care and feel something about the place and the characters in it. I love series like that. Robyn Carr is a master of this genre. This book, while a stand alone, made me wonder at first whether I was going to regret my reading journey but I knew the author and trusted her. Good call. The journey is well worth it and when I finished the book I felt as if I had shared something special. If you have not read Robyn Carr before don't start with this one but save it for later when you have developed that trust that she won't let you down. The book begins with a tragedy and continues with the positive impact of that tragedy on the lives of a group of friends as they work together through their grief. The strength of the deceased and her love impacts them all in unexpected ways. This is not a formula read and I think it will be less appealing for some because of that but it is really a lovely book.
This is the first book by Robyn Carr that I read. I absolutely love this book. Four very different women brought together by writing. They all have different issues. They are brought together one summer after their dear friend Gabby dies. Elly is given the task of going through Gabby's writings and photographs so she moves into Gabby's house on Olive Street. One by one the other women join her as their lives implode in different ways. This is the story of how they learn who they really are and what they are worth as women. It's a beautiful story of friendship.
I have to admit this is one of the best books I have read in a long time! Not only because my best friend for 75 years happens to live on Olive St., in Fair Oaks, Ca (who could have guessed)! The books revolved around the lives of four friends who gathered weekly at the house on Olive St,, they range in age from mid 20's to mid 60's - what a generation gap!
