The Widows' Gallery

by Marilyn Baron

Childless heiress Abigail Adams Longley and three other widows bond over a Renaissance masterpiece in Florence, Italy, and find love, friendship and joy in their joint venture to open an art gallery at the Longley mansion in Lobster Cove, Maine. Since the death of her husband, Abigail has been lonely and drifting in a house that’s too big and a town that’s too small. When she literally runs into sexy widower and whale-watching excursion captain Tack Garrity on the dock, she’s entranced by his adorable five-year-old daughter. But will Tack, who has harbored a secret crush on Abigail for almost two decades, be able to capture her heart? A secret pact her husband made with Tack could either tear them apart or bring them closer together and change their lives forever.

Uzela sam je da mi bude tralala čitanje i da me izvuče iz slumpa. Da li je to uspela? Da.
Da li je bila iole dobra? Ne hahhaha.
Zapravo je komično koliko je loša, apsolutno sve je presmešno ali verovatno je to baš ono što mi je trebalo.
Abi najpovršniji lik ikaaaada a Tak manijak + pećinski čovek. Ostali su samo u prolazu sa nula karaktera.
ALI VIŠE NISAM U SLUMPU!!!

Knjiga skrnavi Botičelijevo delo. Dvojka samo zbog slike kao teme.

Svaki ljubić kupljen na kiosku je bolji od ovoga. Strašno!

[Minato]

Koliko patetisanja! Sve nabacano i zbrzano. Koja glupost!

This book has an unusual premise that hooked me right away--several widows, of varying ages, meet on a cruise ship and find a common passion that both binds them together in their loss and in their hope for regaining happiness. Abigail, the heroine, has inherited great wealth but is floundering without her husband. His death has made her bitter and hard. At times, she is difficult to like, especially when she gets furious with Tack, the hero. Then you find out that Tack hasn't been exactly playing it straight with her...and he knows a side of Abigail that seems to be buried along with her husband.

I enjoyed the unique story line, complex characters, well-drawn settings, and the use of art (The Birth of Venus) for both plot and theme. Pay attention to those water scenes!

Once again, Marilyn Baron writes a charming story about women "of a certain age." Four widows meet on a cruise, each drowning in grief. By combining their resources, they embark on a project that stretches them and brings great rewards. Ms. Baron's experience in the art world brings authenticity to the story. She handles each character with sensitivity and makes the reader want to root for her to find happiness.

The Widows' Gallery is part of the Lobster Cove series.
