Customer Reviews

I would give 10 stars if I could.

The first novel I read by Ms. Siddons. I believe it is the best novel she has ever penned. I vacation at the Outer Banks in North Carolina, every summer, and I could picture each place she talked about in the novel. Each character is described in such clarity that you feel you know each one. The ending is a great surprise! Well worth your time and dollars spent.

One Of Her Best

I'm a great fan of Anne Rivers Siddons....and, this is my fav. among the bunch. It's full of many different layers, and brings the past and the present together, very nicely. The story of these four women is mingled together very well. I found the story very compelling and full of intrique. The mystery and suspense adds a great amount of interest for the end. I found myself wanting to peak at the end, before I got there.

Outer Banks is a masterpiece

First of all I'd like to say that I'm spanish, so my english is not very good, but I think that is posible to express my point of view about Outer Banks, I finished to read, today and right now I'm sad, because I was very envolved in that atmosphere and I'll gonna miss the story, I loved his book, and I think that Anne Rivers Siddons have a wonderfull talent and she made me think about to much things and she specially made me smile and cry at the same time, so I would like to congratulation you, MRS. Anne Rivers Siddons. Stella Garcia

Outer Banks is a masterpiece.

I am an avid reader and this book is by far my favorite novel. I have re-read it several times and always find new pleasure in it. This is the first and only book that I have read by Anne Rivers Siddons and I look forward to reading more of her works. I identified with this book on so many different levels. Outer Banks was a sweet and poignant tale of young girls that we get to know all over again in their middle years. It is a riveting story that I have recommended to all of my close friends.
