Blog Tour & Giveaway: On Folly Beach by Karen White
Please join Karen White, author of On Folly Beach, as she tours the blogosphere with TLC Book Tours!
Reviewed by Poppy Johnson
On Folly Beach
Often, stories told in flashback are confusing to read; as they shift from the past actions to current events, the reader sometimes has difficulty keeping it all straight. That is not the case with On Folly Beach. Karen White keeps the names, circumstances and events so clearly easy to follow, that the reader will absolutely enjoy the anticipation of reading about past events and then caching up to what is happening in the future sections.
On Folly Beach
Please visit Karen White’s website and follow along on her blog tour!
After a decade of working in several NYC law departments and teaching, Poppy decided she enjoyed writing full-time. She currently works as a freelance writing consultant, and lives with her husband and sons on the East Coast.

I had this book on my list to buy-some day! I took it off because I couldn’t remember what is was about and now it is back on the list. I love to read about the 1940s. My aunt lost her husband on D day at Normady Beach and went to mourning for over twenty years. She changed from wearing all black clothes to brown ones and then finally in the 1990s changed to regular colors. But I didn’t she really ever recovered.

No need to enter me, as I've already read the book. Just wanted to say that I agree that White does a great job keeping all the storylines and characters straight. I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on the Book Reviews: WWII page on War Through the Generations.

Thank you for the review, this book sounds really good! I just finished The Language of Secrets and it also went back and forth between present time and the past. I really enjoyed the style so would like to give this book a try as well.
Thanks,

OMG! I am so excited! I LOVE Folly Beach! I spent many hours there when I lived in Summerville, SC. My soul yearns for it. I am not entering the giveaways yet, Vera, since I can't see well enough to read regular print, but I am on my way to the library to see that they order it for me!
I have read several of Karen White's books and love them! I have missed a couple. I actually had forgotten about her and that is because I look for books at the library that are large print.
It led me to find a couple of new books, for me, that Ann Rivers Siddons has written. Love her work too!!
Thanks for the info. I am so glad I found your site!
