A House In Almalfi by Elizabeth Adler

This one is an audiobook. 8CDs for this wonderful story. I loved this Audiobook. It was a delightful, not too heavy tale. I must say, it fell a little short in plot. And the main plot was a little unbelievable, and left feeling robbed. But the descriptions of the characters, setting, etc. by Adler were so very wonderful That is was WELL worth lending an ear to.

This is the stroy of LaMour Haggerty who grew up with a rather irresponsible, author Father , her only parent,who died under what LaMour has always felt were suspicious circumstances. When he own life takes some turns and she feels she is ready for a change she decides it is time to finally deal with her father's untimely death and confront her own demons. She heads to Amalfi on the Italian shore, to a small cottage home on a cliffside she shared for time with her father. Here she becomes acquainted, and renews friendships with a wonderful cast of characters. She finally uncovers the real truth of the circumstances surrounding her father's death.

I have not read the book, but it was wonderful to listen to.

Some of My Favorite Recently read books

  • The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. This series has 6 books in it currently. They explore the lives and times of the residents of Cedar Cove, Washington. The characters in this series are fun because they are so varied. I will admit, I would like to know about some of them. They are old and young, rich and poor, happy and struggling. They do all connect together and they all appear in each book, along with new characters all the time. The books are quick reads. I was very sad when they were done. I cant wait for the next installment of this series to come out in Sept. 2007. Visit Debbies Cedar Cove website for more and pic :http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=6
