review 1: Love the cover art by Tom Curry (abit Hopperesque)! This novel of widowhood takes us to Maine, a place I have a fictional weakness for... Besides the widow/cookbook writer, Caroline, the other main character is Will, a college professor wrongly dismissed on a false sexual harrassment charge. He retreats to Maine to manage a small used bookstore (what book nut hasn't had that fantasy?). We have the sense that these two characters will get together, and yes, of course they do -- but will their friendship turn into anything more? Will is seperated from his wife and (SPOILER ALERT) Caroline is pregnant after the one and only one night stand she has ever had in her life. So, plenty of conflict. Though a bit predictable, this was a book I enjoyed reading because it gave me two v... moreulnerable characters to worry over.
review 2: I enjoyed this novel set in Maine about a woman who stars a new life after her husband dies at a relatively young age. Nice descriptions of the setting, the charectors felt all to real.Several months after her husband’s sudden death, and troubled by one night’s indiscretion, Caroline Waverly seeks refuge in the house she’s inherited in East Hope, Maine. There she finds the courage to face the consequences of her choice less
