Review: Firefly Lane
Editorial Review - Bookreporter.com - Norah Piehl"'Remember Firefly Lane?' Tully said, lowering her voice. Over the years those words had become a catchall phrase, a kind of shorthand for their memories. It was their way of saying that a friendship begun at fourteen, back when David Cassidy was groovy and a song could make you cry, would last forever." At times during Kristin Hannah's new novel, FIREFLY LANE, the portrait of two women's 30year ... Read full review
User Review - Flag as inappropriateFrom the minute you pick up this book you are immersed in a friendship that spans a lifetime. You relive the 70s, 80s, and 90s and beyond through thier eyes and experiences. It is a coming of age novel that breaks open barriers and makes you questions yourself as a female. It makes you appreciate the sisters, mothers, and girlfriends in your lives. I cried my eyes out in the end and i actually was educated on a topic i thought i knew about.
User Review - Flag as inappropriateKate and Tully meet as teens, both of them outsiders in their school. They form a bond that cements and binds their friendship through thirty years of life and love. Tully, the abandoned daughter of an alcoholic mother and unknown father strives to be loved and to that end chooses a life in the spotlight. Kate, always a little in Tully?s shadow, chooses a more mundane life; marriage and motherhood. Through their many ups and downs, fights and jealousies Tully and Kate are always devoted friends until Tully begins to interfere with Kate?s raising of her teenage daughter Marah. Although it seems as if their friendship is over and cannot be repaired one event will bring them back together? friends forever.
I?ve had my ups and downs with Hannah over the years, but I have to say I loved this book, even if it was a bit predictable. A lot of the subject matter hit close to home, I needed the tissues at the end. Although this was a long book I read it in two days. If you like contemporary fiction about friendship this book is a must read.
User Review - Flag as inappropriateThis book was amazing. I can't think of any other words to discribe it. It was filled with love, heartbreak, fights, reunions. Some parts made me mad, others made me want to cry. This book had everything a book should have. I would never want to change anything. I think it should be made into a movie. This book isnt just for women to read anyone can read it even children. I want the author to write more books like this this book at the ending left me speechless. It made me want to cry but at the same time i was happy. This book and that faimlies in it made me feel like I was apart of the faimly.
