Search - The Love Season

Read the book in one day. I loved it! Only the second book I read this author and I will definitely be reading more by her. It is hard to believe the book only spawns one day when you begin but before you know it the book and the day are over and it all goes together smoothly.

I am beginning to like this author more and more. This is the second book I have read by this author, and I must say that I really like her writing style. Once again, just like Barefoot, I really liked this story. It was told really well and had a very good ending.

Love Season is beautifully written; each of her books is more well-crafted than the next, somewhat like the creation of Marguerite's cooking. I find myself going back to this book, this time to get all the recipes, how Marguerite cooks this one fabulous meal... nothing is really written in measuring-amounts, but the whole process from scratch. (When I first read it I went quickly, this time I'm taking notes, not just for the food, but restaurants, stores, etc., in case we should ever go back to Nantucket!) Hilderbrand writes in the 2 very different rhythms of her 2 main characters, the young woman Renata & Marguerite, her "forbidden" godmother she is finally coming to meet: the pace they move at, the "music" in their head. the difference beteen the older woman who has been through love, loss, and a girl just finding it.

Good read.

A good vacation read. You can take a break for a bit and jump right back in, but stay interested enough to finish.
