Description: Fair. Book spine broken. Bumping on top/bottom of spine from shelf wear. Some smudging on a couple of pages. Government wartime restrictions on materials have made it essential that the amount of paper used in each book be reduced to a minimum. This volume is printed on lighter paper than would have been used before material limitations became necessary, and the number of words on each page has been substantially increased. The smaller bulk in no way indicates that the text has been shortened. read more

"In your typical love story, girl meets boy and they fall in love, but some obstacle springs up, such as a misunderstanding, or another woman. Eventually the obstacle is overcome, however, and they declare their love and live happily ever after. But what if things don't work out that way? What if the boy hopelessly botches things and accidentally marries the wrong girl? Can it still be a love story? Green Dolphin Street is tender, funny, wrenching, and vivid, and it will weave its exquisite spell on you while it challenges and enriches your understanding of real love."
"This is my all time favorite book. Good luck finding a copy, though. It is out of print. I checked it out from the Orem Library but it has since gone missing. I bought a used copy off of Amazon.
Interesting fact--this book was made into a movie in the 40s, I think, staring Donna Read, Lana Turner, Van Heflen. It has some early cinematographic attempts at portraying an earthquake. It is reasonable good.
I read it first in the 90s but reread it about a year ago. Still as good as I remember it. Don't expect a quick and easy read. The characters are complex and it covers a long period of time.
Basic plot is of two sisters, both in love with one man. He favors the younger sister but when alone and drunk in New Zealand, he writes a letter asking the older sister to come to New Zealand and marry him. (Their names were similar.) Now what does he do? Read the book and find out."
"Two women in love with the same man. Man in love with one but has a very bad memory when it comes to names. Ends up married to the wrong sister. Their life in New Zealand and what one error does to three lives.
Well told story. Very interesting. It is a love story but not what you expect. It is placed in the 1830's and the story fluctuates between New Zealand and the Channel Islands off the southern English coast.
