Very disappointing, especially since "Sullivan's Island" is my favourite book by this author. Slow to get going -- I read 3/4 of the book before I finally just put it down because I was so bored. Way below this author's normal standards. Give this book a miss.

Blah, blah, blah. I thought that I would bang my head against the wall by the time I reached page 20. I love Dorothea Benton Frank, but this book was awful. Boring and idiotic main character, haunted house, ghosts and foolish choices. None of it interesting. A major disappointment. What happened? I hope that she recovers with her next book. Not recommended.

Not recommended. I wanted to poke my eyes out after the first 10 pages. This was the most unlikeable main character I have encountered in a long time. Completely unable to relate to the characters, who seemed like completely different people from the first book. You wouldn't recognize the whiney, simpering, idiot that is Beth. I usually enjoy DBF for what her work is, quick, light and easy to read. But this was unpolished, the dialogue was ridiculous and disjointed.

I agree with the other reviewers that this was definitely not up to the normal D. B. Frank standard. I read it all the way through, but only because I hate to stop reading a book once I start. Enjoyed the characters of Susan and Maggie (loved them in the original book) and Cecily, but wouldn't give two cents for the rest.

The reviews of this book were not good, but I ordered it anyway, since I love the lowcountry books from Frank. I actually enjoyed this book and I'm glad I read it. It's a tale of young girl fresh out of college who is giving up a year of her life (so she feels) to house sit for the family's island home.She's young and foolish and gets herself into a mess, but she's likeable and she matures at the end of the book.

As the title suggests, this book takes us back to where it all began for Dorothea Benton Frank. This time around the focus is on the next generation, especially Susan's daughter Beth and Livvie's granddaughter. Cecily. I did not find this book to be as good as the first. Beth is simply not as much fun to spend time with. The culmination of all the plots near the end stained the credibility to the breaking point. I would have been happier going to Paris with Susan.
