A Year of Pleasures was a warm, comforting read for me. It brought to the surface the memories of the most important man in my life for many years - my father. The book is not about losing a parent but a spouse yet the process is similar. I found myself recalling wonderful incidents and experiences that lay deep in my heart. I cried as I read the story - not for the book, not for myself but for what I had lost. Yet, I had not lost as much as I thought. His smile, his laughter, his sparkling eyes, his brusque manner and and his quick rambling step will remain in my heart forever. Thank you Elizabeth Berg!
