Helpful Score: 2

Another wonderful novel from Elizabeth Berg. Bette's beloved husband has died unexpectedly and too young, and she embarks on the painful adventure of redefining her life without him. She moves from Boston to a small town outside of Chicago, and in meeting and connecting with new friends and old, she rediscovers herself. The people who populate this novel are true, and funny, and perverse, and ideosyncratic and a pleasure to spend time with. Berg's writing is full of lovely details and invites you into a world rich in emotions and connections. Just a pleasure to read.
