review 1: This was not a particularly intellectually engaging novel. I was in the mood for an easy read that had a story I could get into and this fit the bill. It was quick, good for the commute, and had a fair amount of intrigue. I did not love it, however. It served the purpose I needed and wanted but I didn't come away from the experience supremely enlightened or changed. The story presents some themes that are worth contemplation, but I didn't really connect with any of the characters or find myself sympathetic to any of the situations in the story. I found the main character to be one of false strength. I think the intent was to show her as one who found her strength in the story, but there was nothing particularly courageous or admirable about her (Hattie Darling) in the end.... more As I mentioned, there is enough intrigue to get into the story and it served a necessary purpose, but this is not a book I would recommend.
review 2: Shortly after returning home from a business trip Ben is lying in his wife Hattie's arms on the brink of telling her something important when suddenly... he dies. Hattie struggles with wanting to know the secret Ben never got the opportunity to tell her. Her need to know brings her to Hartford where she does indeed discover Ben's secret, but she also discovers a great deal about herself.All in all the book was an enjoyable read. The writing was a bit choppy at times, and there were some auxiliary characters who did not seem entirely necessary (Mr. Miles and Paul). As a whole though, I liked it. less
