Middle age widower marries a girl a year after the death of his statuesque wife. This girl struggles in the shadow of this woman whose standard up to which she cannot possible live. Only it all falls apart.

I like the last ~50 pages best. Everyone starts getting past the obfuscation of trying to act like who they think others want them to be. It shifts from an accounting of boring diary days to drama, risk, and events.

Beth Lind I'm interested in what you think of this book. I've read several reviews that have intrigued me.


Sherry schwabacher Just read an interesting book that purports to show the negative influence J.M. Barrie, author of PETER PAN, had on the DuMaurier family over the years.

Neverland: J. M. Barrie, The Du Mauriers, and the Dark Side of Peter Pan (9781605980638): Piers Dudgeon
