One would almost never believe this charming novel centering around three women was authored by a man. I believe the one action that gave it away for me was that grown women stick their tongues out at each other far less than is depicted here. Nonetheless, the relationship between newly-widowed Charlotte, newly-pregnant Chloe, and flinty Grace seamlessly came together.
I enjoyed reading Charlotte's descriptions of archaeological digs and how one learns about another person long gone. So many fantastic parallels there. Beautiful prose, too. I enjoyed the act of reading this one; the pacing and language reminded me of Linda Olsson or a slightly-livelier Sarah Stonich.
Coomer employed a plot device I'm not fond of: the story growing along with a pregnancy, as well as a predictable ending. That's why I take off a star. But if you can deal with that, read this little gem; it's touching in a comfortable way.
