Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels tells the story of a woman coming home to the family she left behind—and to the woman she always wanted to be. …

Georgia Chambers has spent her life sifting through other people’s pasts while trying to forget her own. But then her work as an expert on fine china—especially Limoges—requires her to return to the one place she swore she’d never revisit. …

It has been ten years since Georgia left her family home on the coast of Florida, and nothing much has changed except that there are fewer oysters and more tourists. She finds solace in seeing her grandfather still toiling away in the apiary where she spent much of her
childhood, but encountering her estranged mother and sister leaves her rattled.

Seeing them after all this time makes Georgia realize that something has been missing—and unless she finds a way to heal these rifts, she will forever be living vicariously through other people’s remnants. To embrace her own life—mistakes and all—she will have to find the
courage to confront the ghosts of her past and the secrets she was forced to keep. …

Goodreads review by Tina on October 17, 2018

I first picked up this book because it's written by Karen White and I adore her books. The fact the lead character, Georgia, was an antiques china patterns specialist just intrigued me more as I love old china teacups. I must say though the story did not really pull me in. I usually enjoy a good fami......more

Goodreads review by Diana on August 07, 2018

4.5 stars → Beekeeping, rare china patterns, and a decades-old mystery are the intriguing components woven into Karen White's family drama, FLIGHT PATTERNS. Georgia and her sister, Maisy, have been estranged for a decade, and Georgia promised never to return to their coastal home of Apalachicola, Fl......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews on February 12, 2017

Georgia vowed she would never return home after she and her sister had words and parted ways ten years ago. But....never say never. James, a client of Georgia's looking for a special Limoges China pattern changed it all because Georgia had to go home to look for a similar piece that she remembers her......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on December 28, 2017

I will preface this by saying that I love Karen White. I did not, however, love this book. Though family mysteries are a common theme in her novels, this one was extremely farfetched. What are the odds of James--a New Yorker--going to a woman in NOLA for help with his China set… AND THEM HAVING A CO......more

Goodreads review by Stacy - The Novel Life on May 24, 2016

So about Flight Patterns. I’m not sure what went wrong with this one, but for me, I simply could not buy into the premise, the characters or even the setting. And setting is typically this author’s strong point! What I did not love: Maisy. She was angry at the world, spiteful and simply not a nice per......more
