We meet newly widowed Elizabeth, whose husband was the town doctor. Jo, whose daughter Lucy and son Niall, are looking for something different from the modern hospital she works at. Dan, newly jobless and looking for something other than London The indomitable spirit of friendship, finding oneself, and moving forward is front and center in this book. It’s a heartwarming story, with wonderful characters. I especially enjoyed the mature women...so refreshing. The story line draws you in immediately, and the writing is top notch. So nice to read a story where no one is tearing anyone down. Thanks to Ms. Hogan, Aria and Aries and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone! Feel good story with a touch of magic. The allure of the Irish coast beckons as several people work out life challenges in the picturesque town of Ballycove. Author Dan decides to leave Dublin and take time out to write a novel, and to investigate a question he’s wondered about most of his life. Elizabeth, wife of the village doctor, finds herself left with huge debts when her husband dies. As she faces the future she also faces the boundaries of her married life. Jo, a close friend of Elizabeth’s, persuades her divorced daughter and coincidentally a doctor to takeover the surgery until Elizabeth can move forward. Lucy’s son Niall accompanies her into what he views as a fresh new hell. He’s busting to join his father in Australia, Jo talks Elizabeth into joining her for late night swims—refreshing and releasing. Magical! A story with a nicely woven plot and some wonderful highlights—the ladies swimming in the altogether at midnight is a vision of warm friendship and individual courage. I saw the writing on the wall for one subplot from early on in the novel, making it all too neat, but then I thought, Why Not? A tight knit story, with occasional lapses where some happenings are maybe a tad too fortuitous. But then this is a novel of hope and stretching oneself, so again, Why Not? A very enjoyable and warm read! An Aria & Aries ARC via NetGalley näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
