Spellbinding Rivers Siddons
I have never read an author in her entirety who has continually amazed and enthraulled me with her skill as a story teller and a weaver of layered stories that unfold with one revelation after another. Anne Rivers Siddons writes in such a way that you feel, sweat, ...

Heartbreak Hotel
Anne Rivers Siddons
Pocket Star, 2007
A delightful journey back to the 50's..
Oh yes, some would say that this story and its characters are "trite and cliched", but, folks, if you grew up in the south in the 50's and 60's you cannot help but recognize yourself - or gain a brilliant glimpse of a southern girl and all that was expected of her. ...

Colony
Anne Rivers Siddons
HarperTorch, 1993
Excellent book!!
This is one of Anne Rivers Siddons best. Great book with a wonderful twist. Her characters are so real life. My only "complaint" about her (and it's not much of a complaint) is that you need a dictionary next to you when you read any of her books. It's a bit ...

Downtown
Anne Rivers Siddons
HarperTorch, 1995
ISN'T FICTION WONDERFUL
You've read reviews that give you the basic story line of this book so I won't go into that. You've read the Editorial Reviews and I can't say I agree with them. Don't we read fiction to escape our world, the reality of it, and enter a fictional world that the author ...

Off Season
Anne Rivers Siddons
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
One of her best novels!
I became a fan of Ms. Siddons many, many years ago when I first read "Peachtree Road." After that I read every book she had published up to then (some time in the 80s) and proceeded to obtain all First Editions of her earlier books and bought every single one of her ...

Another Siddons Favorite
This was actually the first book I had read by Anne Rivers Siddons, and it is the reason she is one of my favorite authors. I couldn't put this one down. My attention was held from the very first page all the way to the last one. I won't give you all the creative, ...

Fox's Earth
Anne Rivers Siddons
Pocket Star, 2008
A Gripping Read. Loved It!
If you're looking for a great multi-generational southern gothic-type tale, this book is for you. The story of Ruth Fox won't leave you quickly. Rich in characters and detail, I really didn't want it to end. The story of madness in a Southern setting; complete with ...

Pocket, 2007
The House Next Door
I first picked up this book in 1983. Twenty-five years later, I can tell you that this book is one of my favorite horror stories.
Anne Rivers Siddon lulls you into a false security, using home and hearth- a false normalcy - and then smacks you with such supreme ...

Nora, Nora: A Novel
Anne Rivers Siddons, (none)
HarperTorch, 2001
Wonderful Despite Its Flaws
OK, OK, I've read the reviews, and I agree this book is seriously flawed. Yes, it's part Auntie Mame, part To Kill a Mockingbird and part The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.
I don't care. I simply raced through this book, enjoying every single derivative page, wincing in ...

Up Island
Anne Rivers Siddons
HarperTorch, 1998
A BOOK FOR A WOMAN
I read the Editorial Reviews and I have to look at the book in my hands to make sure we're all reading the same one. Can you tell I don't always agree with their summary?
This author writes for women. Men could never understand the emotion she puts into her ...

Low Country
Anne Rivers Siddons
HarperTorch, 1999
A Great Summer Read...yet so much more!
I titled my review, "A Great Summer Read..." because I thought that was what it would be when I began the book. Something wispy and beachy and all about the South Carolina (SC) low country. It wound up being so much more. While not a great work of literature in the ...
