A great southern writer

This is my favorite book, so far, from Patti Callahan Henry. The main character believed entirely in her marriage and her husband died in a plane crash. I don't want to be a spoiler, so I'll just say that events led her to wonder if her marriage was quite what she thought it was. The characters in this novel were wonderfully complex. The scenes were beautifully drawn. The writing reminded me of Dorothea Benton Frank (though not as funny) and Anne Rivers Siddons. If you like either of these authors, you'll love this novel by Henry.

Easy and enjoyable Summer Read

I'm not going to retell the story as that's been done in the previous reviews. My critique-parts of the book strain credulity-to list them specifically would spoil the story and the ending. Some of the conversation seems stilted-problems too in how actions were connected with conversation. But I enjoyed this book enough to recommend it as an easy read that will keep you interested once you get past the introduction of the story and characters. And I enjoyed it enough to reserve some of Ms. Henry's other books at the library.

Pleasant

I was very pleased with this book. It got me hook, line, and sinker from the get-go. If you have enjoyed other books by this author, I don't think this one will let you down.

The Art of Keeping Secrets

An page turner, Patty Callahan Henry is a wonderful writer. You care about her characters and what will happen to them. I heartily recommend this book and all her books.
