review 1: Here is what I know. If you've not known grief, real grief, don't comment on how other people, even fictional people, handle their grief. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Having said that I love a book like this that takes a person with a very personal and emotional st...

review 1: No surprises here -- you know what's going to happen from the first sentence. It's a pie-in-the-sky romance, pure and simple. But having been married twice and engaged a couple of other times, I found the character's introspection familiar, especially the growing sensation that p...

review 1: In my recent review of 'The Pretend Wife,' I mentioned how deeply THIS novel touched me- to the point that I found myself with wet eyes at the mere mention of Heidi's late husband! That is Asher's grand achievement with 'Provence Cure': WE fall in love with Henry, through Heidi. ...

review 1: I would probably rather give this 3 1/2 stars, but as that is not an option, three will have to suffice. This book had gorgeous descriptions of food and grief, a mountain in Paris and what it can mean to love. Those things drew me in and kept me reading. What killed it for me was...

review 1: This was a nice, sweet story that was definitely a page-turner. Although some of the descriptions of France are overly romanticized and borderline cheesy, there was some genuinely touching quotes and insight that this book offers. It accurately depicts the healing process of a gr...

review 1: This book is so high-concept that you can predict the entire story without even reading the cover blurb - it's all there in the title. A grieving (yet young and attractive) widow will rediscover love in a beautiful old house in the beautiful Provence landscape while a colourful ...

review 1: Es un libro gracioso. Lo que hace esta esposa por su esposo convaleciente es increible. Invita a todas las ex de su marido a que se despidan de el y "cierren" capítulo. Y en el camino, se hace amiga de algunas de ellas. En el transfondo de la novela, el perdón aparece muy remarca...

review 1: Interesting premise. Gwen acts as Ethan's pretend wife to assuage his dying Mothers's fear that he live his life alone. But the story is far more complex. Asher has a way of suddenly grabbing you with a profound truth, and you stop to wonder, in this seemingly simple summer re...

review 1: Best lines:A marriage is a conversation that's supposed to last a lifetime, We didn't have enough to say to each other. A lifetime's worth of material is a lot of material. What's wrong with just being quiet together.What is marriage? How does it operate in private, in public...

review 1: I loved this book. What an unusual take on so many topics: impending death, infidelity, the definition of family, of love, of hate, of forgiveness. And marriage, once again, or still I guess, I continue my voyage (research?) on the topic of marriage in its many permutations. Lu...

review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read! I felt the premise was a very interesting one. Love isn't just for one person and often we do not understand what motivates a person to love others until we put ourselves in their place and find out more about who those other people really ...
