review 1: I picked this on up in the Brewster Book Store looking for some Cape Cod fiction :-)Sometimes I REALLY enjoyed this. Sometimes it felt sort of weird. I enjoyed the synesthesia and yet felt like she must have watched a Discovery Health show on it and decided to include it (that wasn't the case, as I found out in the notes at the end). It felt like "ooh, I learned about this cool thing so I'll work it into my story" but didn't feel like it was overly important to the story. Maybe I read too much into it because of all the Discovery Health shows I watched while I was on bedrest :-DThe plot and the Cape were good. I will probably read this book again in another year or two on a future Cape vacation.
review 2: This is the second book by this author which I have... more recently read, and my review is abt the same ... "eh". The central character, Mary, has lost her husband in a motorcycle accident, runs a restaurant in the Cape area, has a "summer" business primarily with lots of characters who work there. One of those employees has an automobile accident and dies bringing back the tragedies of her husband's death ... yadda, yadda, yadda !Of the better parts was the Alzheimer's behavior of Mary's aunt, and a friendship with an artist who has Parkinson's. Both of these illnesses were well researched, and their characters good examples of "living with" challenge.Otherwise ... I am on to "Cutting with Stone". less
