review 1: This book has been disappointing to say the least. I loved the older books by this author, namely "Meet me under the Ombu tree" , "forget me not sonata" , "the butterfly box" and " the swallow and the hummingbird". I remember that those books were beautiful and lyrical, touching and deep.Her recent books however, have been incredibly shallow and I find that she is doing a lot of telling instead of showing in her writing, resulting in weak characters and a lack of depth in her newer books.Not worth the time.
review 2: I receive this book in a First Reads Giveaway and the title had been changed to "The Summer House." Neither title really suits the book. The author often gets a bit flowery in her writing style. Classic story of a strange woman shows up at a funera... morel and the question everyone begs to know is who is she. The author gives the woman the ability to charm everyone and immediately she is able to ingrain herself to show them what they need in their lives. Of course, she is perfect. Thought there would be plenty of twists and turns. Not so. It was pretty evident how the story would go. I've read better, I've read worse. If you are looking for more of a "fluff" read, grab this book. Otherwise, pass on it. less
