Unabridged Audiobook
What I liked was how E Berg described the loss and the loneliness after becoming a widow. I liked the character and the idea of starting a new life. It does help to be financially set up like the book character, definitely would have been a different story if the widow would have been not so wealthy. However the story became unbelievable when she meets the widower, what she did then was very out of character for her and somehow seemed not very likely. Therefore only three stars.
I have read other books by Elizabeth Berg that I really liked and found to be moving and thoughtful (Talk Before Sleep, Durable Goods). Not so with this novel. While I found Berg's characters interesting, some of their actions were not believable. I wish the husband had lived. He was one of the most interesting characters. The plot was trite and predictable. I also found the narrator's voice to be annoying after several minutes of listening. I was very disappointed in this light weight novel.
