Swimming Lessons

well done

Another good one by Mary Alice Monroe. After a cruise and seeing the sea turtles this filled in the blanks.

Excellent

I love this author. Her books inspire me to keep reading. I almost wish she would do more sequels to her novels; but I guess we can draw our own conclusions as to what happens to the characters. Keep up the excellent work; can't wait to read the next novel. Thank you.

Loved it!

So sad to have this book end. I loved The Beach House and this continuation was just as good. You fall in love with the characters...wishing there was another turtle lady book!

Always a good read! Always a good read!

I have herd Mary Alice speak on a number of occasions and find evefything dhe writes a favorite. She relly does her homework before each book. I look forward to her new book and another chance to hear her speak.

WONDERFUL STORY!!

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!! YOU MUST READ THE BEACH HOUSE FIRST. I HATED FOR THE STORY TO END!!!!!!

Great Read!!!

Swimming Lessons is the sequel to Mary Alice Monroe's "The Beach House". I loved this book and think it is even better than its predecessor. I fell in love with the characters, their love of nature, the ocean, their determined spirit and their love and support for one another. Great book!

Loved it!

I loved that this is the sequel to "Beach House." M.A.M. is such a beautiful author that I love every book I ready from her! Enjoy!

Excellent Author

I read Beach house and Swimming Lesons and they were both wonderful stories. This is the first time I had read a sequel. After reading Beach House I could not put Swimming Lessons down wondering what was going to happen next I am an avid reader and love Mary Alice Monroe.

Fantastic summer read

I could not put this book down. After reading her novel the Beach House and being able to revisit those characters lives again was just fantastic. It has it all. Love, friendship between women and the bond they share.All of her books are great but this one surely was a special gift if you read the BeachHouse a couple of years ago. It would be a great read even if you did not read the first book because somehow the author lets you catch up on the lives of everyone. Please don't wait too long to put out another fine read. My family and I wait for your books to come out. Marie Davis

Fabulous

Another fabulous book by Mary Alice Monore. Her books are like an escape from your every day life. I would love to be a 'Turtle Lady.' I look forward to each book.

A fine contemporary tale.

The ailing sea turtles washing ashore by Charleston, South Carolina have become a media circus as reporters question why they came ashore and what can be done to save them. This, in turn, leads to the locals, especially children and their parents, demanding that something be done to save the sea turtles. The local South Carolina Aquarium selects Toy Sooner to find a way to obtain funding to set up sea turtle medical clinic.-------------- Single mom Toy works on the grant while trying to care for her daughter, Lovie. She works directly with the aquarium¿s director Ethan Legare on the project. When she succeeds in obtaining the funding, she is elated to be placed in charge of the sea turtle hospital at a time when she is attracted to Ethan and her former spouse Darryl, just released from prison, returns insisting he wants to be in her life and that of their offspring.-------------- Turtles and location loosely connects SWIMMING LESSONS to the Southern Fiction family drama THE BEACH HOUSE, but readers do not need to obtain the previous South Carolina based tale as this delightful charmer needs no introduction. The story line is at its best when it either focuses on the plight of the sea turtles or on Toy¿s complex relationships with the two men demanding to be in her life exacerbated by her daughter¿s desires. Though late suspense seems an unnecessary detour, readers will enjoy Mary Alice Monroe¿s fine contemporary tale.-------------- Harriet Klausner
