Looking Back
Belva Plain
Dell, 2002
Friendship with a Twist
This is the first book I read by Belva Plain and I really liked it. It's about three college graduates to keep in touch although who have very different life styles. It's a bit slow reading, but interesting to see how their lives develop. The ending caught me by ...

Tapestry
Belva Plain
Dell, 2008
Wonderful book!
Tapestry is the third book that Belva Plain wrote with the same main characters. Her first book in this series of three is Evergreen followed by Golden Cup and then came Tapestry. You will love Tapestry. I did. I am going to get Evergreen and Golden Cup even though ...

The Inimitable Belva Plain
Once again, a fabulous read! Ms. Plain's choice of words, timing, descriptions, characters, plot create a book like no other. Truthfully, I feel that way about all of her books and every time I reluctantly finish reading, what I consider an all too short story, I'm ...

Legacy of Silence
Belva Plain
Dell, 1999
Another wonderful Belva Plain book
Belva Plain is one of the best at family sagas. Her novels are always filled with rich characters, families with all sorts of secrets and relationships that are not easy to navigate. I don't read these books for their historical accuracy so I don't really care if ...

The Golden Cup
Belva Plain
Dell, 1987
my absolute favorite book.
found this book on the shelf at the thrift store back in the mid nineties and bought it on a whim for no other reason than the cover looked inviting. It's a great book, and i'm not even necessarily into family sagas. For me the strength of the book is the appeal of the ...

Crossroads
Belva Plain
Delacorte Press, 2005
WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
I disagree with the other reviewers. This novel may not have the depth of character as Evergreen but Belva Plain draws the distinction between greed and happiness - so appropriate for today's society.
Gwen is shy, wealthy and marries an electrician. They enjoy ...

Daybreak
Belva Plain
Dell, 1995
A GREAT BOOK! ...
I personally like Belva Plain's writing a lot, ...The story was very touching, and Belva Plain expressed the emotions very well of waht others would do in that situation finding out that one of your children isn't your 'biological' child after all. She wrote with ...

Blessings by Belva Plain
I began reading this book, minding my own business, not having any prior knowledge where it was going and whoa - the adopted daughter shows up on the scene. Since I'm a birthmother who successfully found her daughter I was immensely interested in this take. This ...

The Sight of the Stars : A Novel [Large Print]
Belva Plain
Random House Large Print, 2003
Wonderful Book misunderstood by reviewers
I read all the reviews and was astounded that no one seemed to see what Belva Plain was doing with this little book at all. I haven't read "Evergreen" but it hardly seems fair to knock Sight of the Stars for not being another book that you loved. I was about 3/4 of ...

Her Father's House
Belva Plain

A successful gift
I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my Mom. She loved the book and read it in a few days. I had previously listened to it on audio disc and I loved it. Belva Plain develops her characters so well, you can really relate to their emotions. I love that they are ...

Eden Burning
I read this book when it first came out and never forgot it. I reread it recently and appreciated it even more. I became each character--knowing, feeling their experiences. I am saving my copy as a gift for my beloved granddaughter. She is just 4 now, but what a ...

Crescent City

Crescant City
This book swept me into the passion, politics, and struggles of the Civil War era. What amazed me about this book, page after page, was Belva Plain's vivid choice of words. I felt moved by every scene, however significant, through the book. Belva knows her ...

Homecoming
Belva Plain
Dell, 1998
A satisfying, well told story
First, I'm shocked that this book got any negative reviews. Had I read those reviews before I picked up this book I probably wouldn't have read it, and that would have been quite a shame.
This is a heart-wrenching tale of a family of adult children who are at war ...
