A really great story, I got caught up in the lives of the characters, but did not like the ending, at all.
Ii really liked this novel. The characters are so honestly portrayed that you begin to know them very well early on - especially Peter, the curmudgeon hermit who has lost his wife and kids to a terrible fire. The pregnant woman who 'invades' his solitude, as well as his home, has depth of her own. A good, intelligent read.
I've read this twice. It was a great story of rediscovering life after tragedy.
