Product Description:
They are the Season sisters, bound by blood, driven apart by a tragedy. Now they are about to embark on a bittersweet journey into the unknown—an odyssey of promise and forgiveness, of loss and rediscovery.
Jillian, Beatrice and Rose have gathered for the funeral of their younger sister, Meredith. Her death, and the legacy she leaves them, will trigger a cross-country journey in search of a stranger with the power to mend their shattered lives. As the emotions of the past reverberate into the present, Jillian, Beatrice and Rose search for the girls they once were, in hopes of finding what they really lost: the women they were meant to be.

When I finished this book, I knew I had to get all of Mary Alice Monroe's books. I've loved them all. Am anxiously awaiting her next book. kg

I went in search of a touching yet humor filled story that provoked thought, discussion and action and ultimately chose Four Seasons as our book club pick based on reviews and research. I'm embarrassed as the story lacked depth, connectivity, and humor. The author skimmed along the top of major issues, dipped a toe in when the story was stuttering to a stop, then jumped out and flashed forward before you "felt" what she was trying to convey.

A beautiful and moving story of 3 women who gather for their younger sister's funeral. It is sad, funny........romantic...............just an all round good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it...................typical story of typical southern sisters who hate and adore one another and are all "drama queens"!

A very interesting story. Predictable, but a good read. I also liked the ending.

The Four Seasons was my first novel by Mary Alice Monroe.
It's the story of the four Season sisters: Jillian, Beatrice, Rose, and Meredith. The novel opens when the sisters reunite for Merry's funeral, and it takes its shape from her final request - that they find the child, now an adult, that one of them gave up for adoption as a teen.
I confess that I didn't find anything unique or particularly interesting here. Her theme seems to be the effect of the past on the present and the necessity to break down walls and 'share.' I felt rather battered over the head by her heavy handed didacticism by the time I finished the novel, but at least I did finish it.
I suppose my verdict is 'so/so.'
