Rachel stands at the stove about to throw some spaghetti into a pot of boiling water. The radio announcer just said that there had been a horrible and bloody train wreck on the Long Island Railroad this Thanksgiving Eve, 1950. Matt and Tommy were on the evening train returning home from a day in New York City.

Before this day is over, Rachel potentially faces a future as a widow and single mother of three, if she is able to keep from losing her mind.

WELCOME TO MINEOLA spans the next fifty years of Rachel’s life. The story is character-driven and is told from the perspective of several key players as the author "hands the microphone" over to different characters to add their points of view.

Rachel and Matt arrive in Long Island, after being reunited at the end of World War II. They are content to participate in the neighborhood barbecues and card games typical of suburban living in the late 1940's. Although submerging themselves in their new lifestyle and enjoying the family celebrations, Rachel finds that she misses the women in the City brownstone who sustained her during the war. She is devastated when one of them takes her own life. Rachel's strength is further challenged as she comes face to face with her husband's suspected infidelity; the loss of her mother; her neighbor's shocking anti-Semitic behavior; the birth of her fourth child; and a dear friend's stroke.

She is tested further on the day one of her dear children disappears under the waves at Jones Beach and finally she is shattered on that average day in November when she hears a life-altering radio announcement.

Her children grow up, pursue diverse careers, fall in love and begin their own families, counting on Rachel's encouragement and support. The family matriarch is always there to lean on offering her sage advice and her continual strength and presence, until a New Year's Eve that brings sorrow to all that love her.

This is the kind of book you want to tuck in your bag to read on the commuter train. It is smart and entertaining appealing especially to readers interested in stories that contain real historic events experienced through the characters they come to love.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

A. Louise Robertson grew up in Mineola, New York, one of four children. As a young girl, she was an avid reader who decided after reading Little Women that she and Jo March (aka Louisa May Alcott) had a lot in common. Ms. Robertson decided that she too would be a writer. She has previously published poetry and short stories. Ms. Robertson lives in Southern California. She has four children and seven grandchildren. Although the Long Island New York trilogy, of which Welcome to Mineola is the debut novel, is based on the author's childhood, the character-driven novel is period fiction. The story encompasses the second half of the Twentieth Century evolving through a period of time which saw the advent of television, the Presidency of John F. Kennedy and even the shaking hips of Elvis Presley. The book will take the reader back to a simpler time and to the warm inner circle of a close and caring family.

5,0 su 5 stelle Didn't want this book to end!!!

Welcome to Mineola!!! When I read a book, I try and picture the characters in my mind, giving a face to a name. While I read Welcome to Mineola, I pictured my own grandmother as Rachel. This story could be about anyone's family, the way it was told; it just held me and made me want the best for Rachel. I admired Rachel's strength in her times of adversity. She didn't fall apart, she didn't hide, and didn't blame. She survived and lived not only for herself but for her children and her extended family of friends. As the years go by the story's focus is Gayle and I couldn't wait to "turn the page" to see what Gayle's life story would hold. Thank you to A. Louise Robertson for writing a book that made me feel good! Made me wish we lived in a simpler time, where time spent with family was a priority and we weren't just passing through each other lives. I hear this is going to be a trilogy and I can't wait to read the next two to find out what unfolds for Rachel's family.

I read this for my book club... otherwise I would have tossed it without finishing. The plot sounded good so it could have been interesting but I found it tedious and amateurish. The dialog was mundane and went on and on with trivial details instead of creating an interesting story. It would have been good to have a little more background on Rachel's life before the war ended. But it was Louise Robertson's first effort so maybe she'll get better with time (hopefully). I have no desire to read any others though. My take on it is that it was ten bucks and ten hours of my life that I'll never get back...

Some people talk about the 1950's with nostalgia of a simpler time, and gloss over the reality that was a country trying to heal from a war - Welcome To Mineola pealed back some of that two-dimensional view of this period of time, revealing some of the pain and strength of those individuals striving to create a post war life. I enjoyed the author's choice to tell the story from the perspective of different characters whose view changed the way they perceived events. It is easy to recognize in the character's lives their struggles and strength - and to identify with them, regardless of the time this story is set; the overall optimistic view to the future is one that everyone can embrace.

Doesn't go anywhere, not informative, terribly disappointing, poorly written, stilted dialogue. Other than that . . . .
