review 1: Dabney Kimball Beech, the 48-year-old fifth generation Nantucketer, has had a lifelong gift of matchmaking (52 couples still together to her credit). But when Dabney discovers she is dying of pancreatic cancer, she sets out to find matches for a few people very close to home: her husband, celebrated economist John Boxmiller Beech; her lover journalist Clendenin Hughes; and her daughter, Agnes, who is engaged to be married to the wrong man. As time slips away from Dabney, she is determined to find matches for those she loves most - but at what cost to her own relationships? THE MATCHMAKER is the heartbreaking new novel from Elin Hilderbrand about losing and finding love, even as you're running out of time
review 2: I would have rated this 4 stars - it was a good
... more story - but there were several editing errors in the book I had, which actually caught my attention. Could I have ended up with a pre-publication copy? She's a well-known author and I would think she'd have a good editor, but there were multiple blows in timeframe and in character referrals, and normally I wouldn't notice those, so they were certainly blatant. less
