Tapestry of Fortunes by Elizabeth Berg (audio) & Giveaway (US Only – book)

April 15, 2013 by Darlene

tapestry

I have been a fan of Elizabeth Berg since I first read Talk Before Sleep. It was a novel that deeply touched my heart and her newest Tapestry of Fortunes has done the same thing. I was lucky enough to find the audio through my library and it was fantastically narrated by Barbara Caruso. I really enjoyed the tone of her voice and it made listening to this wonderful story very pleasurable. Tapestry of Fortunes is a novel of the beauty of friendship and of revisiting your past to change your future.

Tapestry of Fortunes follows four women starting with Cece who is a motivational speaker. After the loss of her best friend she decides she needs a change and sells her home and moves in with three other women in a beautiful old home where she can get back to gardening. Already living there is the divorced Lise who owns the house and is struggling in her relationship with her daughter. Then we have Renie who seems to have the brashest personality but hidden in her are reasons for the walls she puts up. Last we have Joni, a chef who loves to cook but is having a harder and harder time dealing with her boss at work. At first when these women come together it seems a rocky path but it isn’t long before they are sharing deep secrets and their hopes and dreams. When they decide to go on a road trip it is unlikely that the realize just how much it will change their lives.

I liked these women and especially the bond of friendship they formed with each other. I liked the idea of revisiting your past and being able to mend past mistakes. Nothing earth shattering happens but it doesn’t have to. The magic is in the quietness of the novel and in the love and hope there is for the future. I really enjoyed it and if you’re a fan if Elizabeth Berg’s writing then I’m sure it’ll be a winner for you too. For those who haven’t experienced her stories yet, you should. She really is a beautifully gifted author.

    Good Morning! What a beautiful title Elizabeth Berg has chosen for her novel. For, after all…. isn’t every one of our lives just like a tapestry woven with some threads of gold, some of bright colors and some — a grey drab color. But it takes all to weave the finished product! Thank you for the opportunity to comment….. I like keeping in touch via your blog! ~~karen~~

    I think that would be a great idea for m life right now…living with a few of my friends Ina house together so the bunch of us could find the real me deep inside again. After being divorced for 10 yrs. I’ve about had it with dating & all that jazz. I think this would be a wonderful story to read about how these friends were able to find each other again 🙂
