Lowcountry Summer by Dorothea Benton Frank Book Summary

“Frank…writes with genuine adoration for and authority on the South Carolina Lowcountry from which she sprang….[Her] stuff is never escapist fluff—it’s the real deal.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Return to Tall Pines in the long-awaited sequel to Dorothea Benton Frank’s beloved bestseller Plantation. Lowcountry Summer is the story of the changing anatomy of a family after the loss of its matriarch, sparkling with the inimitable Dot Frank’s warmth and humor. The much-beloved New York Times bestselling author follows the recent success of Return to Sullivans Island, Bulls Island, and Land of Mango Sunsets with a tale rich in atmosphere and unforgettable scenes of Southern life, once again placing her at the dais, alongside Anne Rivers Siddons, Sue Monk Kidd, Rebecca Wells, Pat Conroy, and other masters of contemporary Southern fiction.

Lowcountry Summer. Having lived for three years on the coast of southern Georgia, this book brought back so many flavors and pictures of this magical place. Southern women don't mince words as those of us on the receiving end well know. It's just softened so that it takes one a few moments to realize what had been said wasn't so sweet. Though the granddaughter was seen as "ugly" it was a true to life thought. It was not something ever said aloud, nor was the child treated in an "ugly" manner. I could hear those southern accents as I read and "see" the mannerisms of each of these strong women. I read this one before "Plantation" and wish I hadn't. A good read that showed emotional growth in the characters that life and its messiness hopefully evokes.

Lowcountry Summer. I was very disappointed in this book. It had none of the wit and charm of her first books. The main character was crude and constantly making sexual comments or moves towards any man that was still breathing. Also I found her remarks about the little girl being ugly just plain mean. She found all sorts of creative ways to call the girl ugly...not funny just mean. I really liked her first books Shem Creek and others. But I wish I had never spent the money on Lowcountry Summer. Also it was depressing. A major storyline had to do with a death and funeral. Not a good read.

Lowcountry Summer. What a disappointment ! The main character goes on about dignity and manners and then proceeds to sleep around while she judges others as being crass. She also likes to imagine how her family killed those dirty yanks during the civil war... Yes obviously because she lives on a plantation... I won't be buying any more of these books. it portrays all of the south's ugliness and none of the kind people's charm.

Disappointing Followup to Plantation. I loved Plantation and it’s characters and thought a sequel of these same characters would be similar, but it was not.

Lowcountry Summer. Fun, light read. Frank's love of the lowcountry is obvious in her perfect descriptions.

Loved it!. A fun read with great characters

Lowcountry Summer. Wonderful! Smartly written! Funny! Sad! All the wonders of real life! Don't miss this one!

Enjoyable!. As with all Ms. Frank’s books, I enjoyed this read. It had hilarious parts, soulful parts and just plain crazy parts but they all melded together to create a lovely story.

Better the second time !. I’m not one who reads a book once and tosses it out. I have authors I can’t bear to be without. Dorthea Benton Frank I have loves for many years. Lowcountry Summer is one of her best. With every description, you feel, you smell and you taste Tall Pines. I enjoyed this book the first time I read it and it was even better the second time.

So, so.... The book was confusing at first, since in Plantation, Caroline was deeply in love with Jack. Now, no mention at all of the handsome doctor. Caroline has turned into a difficult character to like - sleeping with just about anyone who seems remotely available. A timeline issue that an editor should have caught - it's been ten years since the end of the last book, yet little Chloe, who was born by the end of Plantation, is said to be seven years old and in second grade. All in all, this is that rare book from Dorothea Benton Frank that is a disappointment.
