Title: The Rocks
Author: Peter Nichols
Format: Audiobook
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Summary: Set against beautiful Mediterranean Sea views and lush olive groves, this book opens with a confrontation and a secret: what was the mysterious and catastrophic event that drove apart newlyweds Lulu and Gerald in 1948 and resulted in them never speaking again, despite living on the same small island for the next sixty years? And how did their history shape the friendship of their unrelated children decades later? The Rocks is a double love story that begins with a mystery then moves backward in time to unravel what really happened so many years ago. (Source: Amazon).
Review: To be fair this book should probably be given four stars but I don't recommend the audiobook format. This book starts in the present time and then continues to move back in time. I kept wanting to re-read the beginning once I became more familiar with the characters. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but the number of peripheral characters made it too hard for me to remember who they were without the luxury of being able to go back and read. Still, I would recommend this as a good beach read for the summer.
