review 1: When You Went Away by Michael BaronAfter reading Michaels' soon to be released book and enjoying it I got several of his other books. This one is about Gerry who has lost his wife Maureen and he's left with his 4 month old son Reese. Tanya he hopes will come home back to Long Island, NY in time.The story goes back to happier times with the family and then up to date where he's just hired Lisa to take care of the baby so he can return to work.He spends his whole day with his son, watching him laugh, as he walks around the house with him pointing everything out, especially the pictures of his mother and sister.As time goes on we do learn why the daughter has run away with 2 years of high school being a straight A student,... It was a surprise to him also when Maureen told hi... morem she was pregnant.He is back to work and others in the family's life stop in to lend support and bring him up to date with their latest news.Love how the talks to his son about the Yankees play by play action in preseason games.His sister in law Codie has heard from Tanya and they confide in one another.The journal Maureen had given him one year was going to be put to good use...like how he uses it to move on with his life at the same time recording his thoughts and feelings about how his daughter had changed their lives.He intellectually connects with a lady in his office where her job for the Christmas catalog is to pitch ideas at him and they discuss why they might work or might not. He's agreed to have dinner with her and this will be the first time since he lost his wife.Love how everything is brought full circle by the end of the book, didn't see it coming...Because there are only a few main characters you can get to know them very well. There are others that come into play and they are both good listeners and sometimes like to be listened to as well.Love the honesty, deepness of the topics discussed and the loving nature he has for all that he comes into contact with.
review 2: Surprise! I'm a suspense reader, yet I quite liked this book. Michael writes beautifully. As a reader I felt like I "knew" his characters. He especially captured the personality of little Reese in a way that touched me as a reader. My only criticism was the flavour of the e-mails from Tanya. The words and the manner in which she spoke in these e-mails seemed beyond her years. It sounded more like her father talking. Again, as a suspense reader, I was quite pleased to find myself longing to get back to this book. Well done! Comment | Permalink less
