I have to salute Douglas Kennedy, a male, who is able to capture so vividly the emotions, struggles, triumphs of the female lead (Hannah Buchan) in this book. The book is set in two contrasting periods, the 1960s when Hannah was a student, how she decided on a quiet life in Maine and how a one-night affair turned into a nightmare years later (when she is a grandmother!)
The feelings in this book: disappointment with life, settling for something less, courage to differ, courage to face obstacles are so real that believe me, I cried more than once reading through the book. Definitely going to read more of Douglas Kennedy’s books.
