A good friend recommended this book and I truly enjoyed it. It's about two long-lost lovers who meet later in life and reconnect. She is divorced; he is not. Families come into play and complicate the romance, obviously, and they struggle to figure things out. The ending is quite a shocker!
The major obstacle to the two being able to stay together (he is married but not satisfied), is his daughter. The demands she places seem unreasonable, and very selfish. As the daughter of divorced parents, I could not relate to her feelings and concerns. I wanted my parents to be happy and although I was unhappy that they split up, I did not fight it one bit. I would never have done what this daughter did. But I came to accept that given in this story and it did make the ending make much more sense.
Very beautifully written. I had never read anything by this author before but I will seek out more of her work.
