The Four Seasons by Mary Alice Monroe


The story is touching and warm but predictable. The characters are likable and original.

At times the storyline is slow and drags but then it picks up and becomes enjoyable once again.

Might be more fitting for an older audience, as I couldn't relate to characters or their status in life.

An ok, read.

Grade: B-



Synopsis - From the Publisher
They are the Season sisters, bound by blood, driven apart by a tragedy. Now they are about to embark on a bittersweet journey into the unknown; an odyssey of promise and forgiveness, of loss and rediscovery.

Jillian, Beatrice and Rose have gathered for the funeral of their younger sister, Meredith. Her death, and the legacy she leaves them, will trigger a cross-country journey in search of a stranger—a stranger with the power to mend their shattered lives. As the emotions of the past reverberate into the present, Jilly, Birdie and Rose search for the girls they once were—in hopes of finding what they had really lost: the women they were meant to be.
