Beach House Memories Free Audiobook Download by Mary Alice Monroe
After an unexpected death, our narrator embarks on a house-buying excursion. One of the houses on the market is in Shaws Head, a quiet village in North Carolina where her husband had grown up. Her husband's family, neighbors and best friends live there still. She picks up parts of his life as she adjusts to living without him.
From the beautiful and poetic intro, you know this is a story that will pull you in. The tone of it is light and conversational, and the narrator is like someone you might meet at a summer house on Martha's Vineyard. The abridged version of the book captures the essence of what makes this novel so lovely, but it leaves out some parts and skips others too briefly to do them justice.
