Synopsis

Hill Towns is a classic novel of remarkable emotional power, insight, and sensitivity from Anne Rivers Siddons, whose books live on the New York Times bestseller list and in the hearts of millions of her adoring fans. One of the acknowledged masters of contemporary Southern fiction—the author of such phenomenally popular works as Nora, Nora; Outer Banks, Islands; and Sweetwater Creek—Siddons carries the reader from the mountains of Tennessee to the breathtaking Tuscany countryside as she brilliantly chronicles the unraveling of a marriage. Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides) says, “She ranks among the best of us,” and Hill Towns is the proof.

However, I too, was very unimpressed the language. There simply was no need for the foul words that Siddons appeared to enjoy throwing in se......more

Goodreads review by Mari on October 10, 2019

Another re-read of my all-time favorite author, and again it did not disappoint. Even more thrilling was learning of the backstory of it all - that Anne and Heyward did go to Italy for the wedding and honeymoon of their friends Cynthia and Cliff Graubart, and the story was loosely based on that adve......more

Goodreads review by Patricia on August 27, 2011

Hills Towns was an enjoyable read. The book started in Tennessee and ended in Italy. Everyone seemed to change in Italy, and most of the characters would never be the same again. It has beautiful settings and vivid characters.......more
