A good read. The premise is really not that believable but parts of it made me laugh out loud. I like the structure of it happening in one day in the present but with flash backs you get 10 years of a relationship. Some people might be disappointed by the ending but I thought it was just right.

I found this book a little hard to get into at first but very quickly it became a "can't put down" kind of book. The characters that Martha Lessen encounters in rural Oregon during WWI are so finely drawn they almost seem real. The author's writing style is straightforward but not simplistic. This is a really good read. Sad to see it end.
