The Year of Pleasures

A delightful book about love, lost and finding your way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found the subject matter thought provoking. The book centers around a woman's self-discovery of life after her husbands death. If I review the book further I might give away the ending and I wouldn't want to spoil the book for anyone. It was a wonderful read and maybe because I was the same age as the main character it really spoke to me. What happens when the love of your life dies and you are left to carry on unfortunately, we all must face this question sometime in our life. Do you carry on and make a new life or do you turn bitter and curl up and wither away? As hard as it will be I hope that I would be able to find a purpose in my life and a way to carry on. Carrying on doesn't mean forgetting.
