A slow moving story (it was only 240 page, I thought it would read a lot quicker) that focused on the relationship between Joanna and Abe. A relationship that has lasted through 22 years of stability, family issues, loss, but it seems like with no change. One night at dinner, at their usual spot sitting at their usual table, they are served by a new waitress. This waitress will change their lives and the lives of their close family. Abe and Joanna are forced to grow as individuals, one through music one through adventure. Does the waitress bring this on or themselves? I wanted more magic. I enjoyed learning about the waitress, what she was running from magic or reality. But, the on goings of Abe and Joanna's relationship were the focus of this work. I'm a bit disappointed at that. The setting was gorgeous. Having lived in the Seattle the author perfectly captured the surroundings. If you are looking for magic, I would skip this one.
