One of the blurbs on the book cover describes it as "a perfect novel for whiling away a leisurely weekend," and that's exactly what I did this rainy weekend. This is a wonderful, engrossing and well written novel.
My wife says this is very good----and she's not easy to please.
this was an excellent story of...it's a love story, and one of sadness, and coping skills and how people deal with things...it's amazing and just an all around good read. if you're even a little skeptical about getting this book...get it anyway, and you will not regret it.
