Angels All Over Town is my first novel. When I think back to how I lived then, how I was as a person, I feel almost as if I’m gazing through the looking glass.

Angels All Over Town is my first novel. It’s a surreal combination of elation, incredulity, tenderness, and lost love. Because it’s my first novel, it’s layered with all sorts of reality, invention, wishes, dreams, observations, memories-a chiaroscuro of life. Poems from the time I was young.

on the third Tuesday of every month, and that they would see me at their next meeting. Pearls at the throat. Gold shrimp earrings, a Christmas present from my parents my last year at Juilliard. The board convened in the apartment of Monica and Chip Krane, a spacious two-bedroom filled with brand-new Early American furniture. Monica greeted me and offered coffee. We sat beside each other in identical rockers. We smiled at each other

With that being said, like all of Rice's books, I still enjoyed the well thought out characters, the complications of family and love story. The beginning felt a little out of place with the rest of the book, but by the end I could connect it.

New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice made her triumphant debut with this delicately drawn but emotionally powerful portrait of a woman’s extraordinary journey of the heart and soul–a timeless story of love, sisterhood, and the hope that emerges even out of heartbreak....Una Cavan doesn’t believe in ghosts. But ghosts seem to believe in her. At least, her father’s ghost does, walking into and out of her life as casually as if he were entering and exiting a room. Una has always believed the Cavan women had the power of witches, and from the beaches of Connecticut to the bustle of New York City they’ve shared the special unbreakable bond of sisters. No man has been able to come between them…until Lily marries the “perfect” man and begins to drift away and Margo gets engaged. With another failed relationship behind her, and a thriving career as an actress ahead of her, Una wonders if she’s destined to be alone–or if there isn’t something more, something magical that life has in store for her. Then an unexpected encounter gives her the answer she’s been seeking….

I began with one Luanne Rice book. I liked her writing so much that I have now purchased all but three. These books are exceptional. They are the sort of book that one wants to read in one reading. I prefer the warm propped up pillows and cuddly blanket on a cold winter's night with warm hot chocolate (made with 1 or 2% milk) at my bedside. Yes, her books are great comfort food for the mind! Also, so far the books that I have read take place in the north east. . .all come with great geography lessons and discriptions!

It was hard reading. It was all over the place. I would not recommend this. I don't have anymore to say.

Ironrunner

normally Luanne Rice writes a fantastic novel. Could not get into this one. jumped around too much and story was very dry and hard to keep your focus on. will purchase other rice novels.

I liked it.

e of the authors first books. Not one of my favorites. The book was all over the place regarding the three sisters, their husbands, mates, boyfriends, whatever. Her romantic descriptions were not very refined. The sisters were so dysfunctional and led obscure lives. The book tried to address issues of sibling rivalry, alcoholism, abuse, loss of parents. Una's sex life was rather crude and made her out to be more loose than I believe the author wanted her to be. I NEVER give up on an author from reading some of their first works. She has evolved so wonderfully and I have enjoyed many of her later books.

While this is not my favorite Luanne Rice book, I enjoyed the story all the same. And knowing this was her first published effort at writing (1985), I did figure it wouldn't be as polished as her later works that are my favorites, such as Home Fires, The Secret Hour and Cloud Nine.
Angels All Over Town is about three sisters, Una, Lily and Margot and their relationships with each other and with the men in their lives. The story was told from Una's point of view, who's the oldest and an actress on a soap opera. I found the sisters very endearing. And I loved the interpersonal things going on between them, their discussions, arguments etc.
There are some things that I think could have used improvement, such as the book didn't feature their mother much. We didn't get her point of view at all, or learn why she was the way she was. Also, I would have liked to see more of a resolution with some of the stories, particularly with Lily and her husband Henk. The ending would could have been improved as well, I felt like it was a kind of odd place to chose to end the book.
Overall there were some flaws, but I still found myself enjoying this book and it's characters. Like all of her later books, the story of family and of relationships is prominent and it engages the reader. I think if you go in reading this knowing some of these things (especially that this is her first book), you won't be disappointed. However, I would recommend reading her newer books first (Dream Country, Firefly Beach and Follow the Stars Home) and her older books second- but I do think the older books (Blue Moon, Stone Heart) are worth the reading time.

Rented as an e-book from the public library, the author brings forth the nuances of individuals & families struggling with common life challenges such as aloholism, sibling rivalry, physical health declines, & grieving the losses of a parent [both one who has physically died but "lives on emotionally" in our hearts & minds because we need them to still teach us the lessons we haven't yet learned, as well as grieving for the remaining parent who physically lives on, but who will never fulfill our childhood or adult expectations for the parents we "wanted" - rather than the parents who conceived & raised us. She also shows the many faces of love, what we can gain & lose [perhaps our "selves"] in order to obtain & maintain love, & the many definitions of "success" - as well as the "price" some pay for it. Emotionally turbulent, this was my 1st Luanne Rice book - which has inspired me to read the rest of her collection.

This is Ms. Rice's first novel written in 1985. Meet Una Caven, by day a successful soap opera actress, by night, 80's woman ordinaire. This story introduces us to the Caven clan, primarily the story of 3 sisters.

Una, evidently pronounced Oooh-nah, not You-nah, is the oldest of the 3 sisters, and the single one, who is searching for Mr. Right. Always inseparable, the sisters relationships change when the younger ones take on spouses, much to Una's dismay and frustration. Her quest for the right soul-mate takes the reader through a lot of mundane dialogue.

Una's sexual escapades are described rather crudely, which I found surprising, after reading some of Ms. Rice's most recent novels. Obviously, Luanne Rice has much improved since this first novel of hers. Her recent novels have much more substance, and the love/sexual sequences are now written with emotional impact that enrapture and captivate the reader, unlike this first attempt.

If you have not read her before, don't start with this one - try "Follow the Stars Home," "Home Fires" or "Summer Light"... she is a great writer, one of my favorites.
