But this novel The Guest Book is much more than beautiful descriptive writing. The Guest Book will be one of the most significant novels of 2019. The GUEST BOOK is groundbreaking as it reaches in scene after thematic scene toward a much more nuanced verbal picture thus delineating a deeper understanding of the necessarily psychologically fragmented process the different characters in this big novel must enter to either try not try or to mix those two human attitudes consciously and unconsciously to arrive at ethical and.

Lucy Foley Goodreads Author 386 Rating details 349708 ratings 35998 reviews. After reading the Guest Book with Sara Blakes beautiful style of prose I finally understand the difference between general fiction and literary fiction. I will definitely need to read it again.

Letting go of pain from the past with help from God if you just turn to Him and ask - things can turn out pretty wonderful. The climactic scene of The Guest Book is a disastrous party described in such granular detail that it seems to take place in real time but its mesmerizing rather than tedious because. Every guest has a different voice and the guests often held conversations with each other through the book as well as with Annie Butterworth the owner of Willow Cottage.

It is a simple word uttered on a summer porch in 1936. Reviewed in the United States on May 7 2019. THE GUEST BOOK.

The Guest Book. An island off the coast of Maine. Recommended to book clubs by 5 of 6 members Instant New York Times Bestseller The Guest Book is monumental in a way that few novels dare attempt The Washington Post The thought-provoking new novel by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Blake.

Kitty and her husband Ogden are both from families considered the backbone of the country. Her prose enables the reader to know the people in her novel and to see and feel the settings. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Theyre close relatives of book club books but without the element of homework. The Miltons story unfolding from the1930s to the present day is one powerful family saga. The plot lacks engaging elements and the pace of the story is slow.

However the plot twist in the later half of the book gets it these 2 stars though i predicted. Without losing their specificity three generations of Milton women reveal. The novel is a testament to WASP culture in the US.

Sarah Blake is an extraordinary writer. This is the kind of book youll want to binge-read in one or two sittings. Similar in tone and atmosphere to The Hunting Party THE GUEST LIST delivers an even more assured intricate mystery for readers to tease apart.

This is a vivid transporting novel written by a master conjuror of time and place. Sarah Blake has managed the extraordinary feat of writing both an intimate family saga and an ambitious excavation of the subterranean currents of race class and power that have shaped America. I loved The Guest Book.

A lifetime of secrets. It is just another story of a regular college girl and her life. And it will haunt Kitty Milton for the rest of her life.

It is an indictment of a group of wealthy and entitled citizens. You soon see that some of the guests are return visitors and you slowly get to know a whole. THE GUEST BOOK delivers a beautiful family story while depositing seeds of questions within each person who turns its pages.

Lets buy it dear. The Guest List. The bride The plus one The best man The wedding planner The bridesmaid The body.

50 out of 5 stars. This is an important novel. Handsome tanned Kitty and Ogden Milton stood ramrod straight and smiling into the camera on the afternoon in 1936 when they had chartered a sloop sailed out into Penobscot Bay and bought Crocketts Island.

Great summer read with a sweet story of childhood pictures in a guest book leading to grown-up romance and mystery.
