This book is filled with the nostalgia of a family and a mysterious "Lady" who lives across the park. It's a wonderful look back in time and has an ending that is quite the surprise!

"The novel re-creates the texture of life in an American small town and brings back our own lost memories of the nineteen-thirties and -forties. It is a heart piercing evocation of a bittersweet alliance, with all its thorny ambiguities, between a charming woman and an adoring young boy. It holds readers in a delicately tautening suspense as it gradually reveals the unimaginable truth about its lovely-and elusive-heroine. And about all, it gives us Lady."

A well written love story with a twist of not only in the story, but of the heart. Set in the period from WWI to WWII the reader has a glimpse into a small neighborhood of a small New England town and how the lives of the people their intersect. This genre of book is not my cup of tea, but it came highly recommended and it was worth my time to sit and to enjoy. I will be looking into books from this author.
