It was pretty predictable and very slow reading. The story and the characters were not deep enough to hold my interest. I muddled through reading this book.

This is the second Elizabeth Berg book I have read. I don't think I'll need to read another. It was somewhat the same as A Year of Pleasures, only not written as well.

The story of an author/widow learning to cope with writer’s block, and figuring out where to go next to get on with her life. The question arises: when do we need to spread our wings and venture into new territory and when do we need to find a nest-a safe home that comforts and defines us. What a guy her husband was—and what he left for her! As a retired teacher, I loved the way she responded to her writing students.
