Críticas

Praise for Sullivan's Island

"The setting and the characters are blazingly authentic...Frank evokes the eccentric Hamilton family and their feisty Gullah housekeeper with originality and conviction; Susan herself--smart, sarcastic, funny and endearingly flawed--makes a lively and memorable narrator. Thanks to these scrappily compelling portraits, this is a rich read."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Sullivan's Island is hilarious and wise, an up-to-the-minute report on what it is like to be alive and female in the South Carolina Lowcountry today."--Pat Conroy

"Dottie Frank's take on the South Carolina Lowcountry is tough, tender, achingly real, and very, very funny. Sullivan's Island roars with life."--Anne Rivers Siddons

"In Sullivan's Island, southern womanhood has found a new voice, and it is outrageous, hilarious, relentless and impossible to ignore."--John Berendt

"A satisfying treat."--Orlando Sentinel

"Frank's wit, her fast pacing and the details of Lowcountry life and place give the novel a solid grounding...The book's greatest pleasure lies in the delightfully realized Susan, who has all the pluck, charm and gutsy good humor anyone might wish for."--The State

"One heck of a beach book...Frank keeps you reading compulsively."--The Charlotte Observer

"Filled with lowcountry and Gullah legend, this delightful contemporary romance is a very moving story of family, love and place."--Knoxville News-Sentinel
