I've tried several of Mr. Waller's books and they all "play out" like low-budget sappy movies. I think I got through about 30 pages before losing interest.

From the author of "Bridges of Madison County" In his newest book, Robert Waller writes about men and women who have seen life, made hard choices, and yet still looking some something more. And in this multi-layered, powerful story, he lets us without qualification that the dreams we cherish are understood and valued...and the chance we can fullfill them is real.

I like a book that catches you immediately. This book didn't do that. It took me until chapter 2 to really get interested. That said, I ended up really liking the book and having a rather melancholy feeling upon finishing it, wanting more. I loved the characters. Robert Waller gives them soul. No plot persay, but a story is there with a beginning, middle and ending. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

From the author of Bridges Of Madison County--I didn't think i'd like anything he wrote more than Bridges--but this is wonderful--powerful--moving, and such a wonderful read. I am really glad that i tried one more of his books, now i want to read some others he has written. As inner covers says, Mr Waller's novel is about men and women who have seen life, made hard choices, and yet are still looking for something more, and that you can make your dreams come true. Very worth the time i spent with these pages.
