Book Description

Release Date: May 29 2012

From New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice, a moving family story that "will strike a chord in every mother, daughter, or sister" (Marie Claire)

In The Silver Boat, New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice has written a heart-wrenching yet heartwarming portrait of a family in all its flawed complexity. The McCarthy sisters have come to Martha's Vineyard to say good-bye to their family's beach house—the place they were happiest together. Each has her own complicated issues and is struggling with the difficult process of letting go, but when a cache of old letters spurs them to visit Ireland, each woman comes to see herself in a new light. True-to-life sisters, the beach, laughter, and passionate love—The Silver Boat is Luanne Rice at her very best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed- not Luanne Rice's best novel Oct 30 2011

By Katrina Zamora-Ivins

Format:Hardcover

I have read every single Luanne Rice book and have always been very pleased with them because she is the kind of author who writes books one can't put down. Unfortunately, The Silver Boat was not one of those books. It was very slow getting into it and written in third person; Luanne Rice usually writes in first person which brings more of a connection with the main character. By the time the story reached it's climax, it was more than half way through. I found the characters to be disconnected through the story and not very powerful. This is the only book where I had to force myself to pick up and read to see how it was going to end. I'm sorry to give Luanne Rice such a mediocre review because I have loved every one of her books, but this one does not compare with her other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Luanne Rice Winner! April 8 2011

By Barva - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Time after time, novel after novel, Luanne Rice proves that she knows how to write about families in all shapes and sizes. Her newest is no exception. The McCarthy sisters and their families and their stories spring to life in The Silver Boat. One warning - the book is addictive and once I started it, I had trouble stopping.
I highly recommend this book as a great read. Enjoy! I sure did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Choppy and amateurish Nov 3 2011

By Lady O - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I picked this up on a whim as it was prominently displayed. Read the reviews and the dust jacket, and it seemed perfect for me. Wrong. The author spent a great deal of ink telling us what the characters were all about without letting the characters develop on their own. The side story with the "graphic novel" was boring and disruptive. I felt as though I were reading the bare bones of a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" film script. Very dissatisfying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Family secrets can hurt and solving them can heal Jun 12 2011

By Melodie - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition

I really liked this book, at first I thought,"oh no not another family beach story". It was so much more after I continued to read, I was glad I did. It was different from the other books where every relationship heals at the beach. This story takes place on a secluded island off Nantucket, that a family house was to be sold after being in the family for generations. There is a mystery around their mother and father's marriage, and the daughters travel to Ireland to try find why their father disappeared. There are other stories weaved throughout. Some of it is quite a stretch, but over all I enjoyed this book...good beach read.
