Publisher's Summary
Breathing Lessons covers the events of a day in the life of Maggie Moran, nearing 50, married to Ira and with two children.
Her eternal optimism and her inexhaustible passion for sorting out other people's lives and willing them to fall in love is severely tested one hot summer day. Maggie and Ira drive from Baltimore to Deer Lick to attend the funeral of the husband of Serena, Maggie's childhood friend.
During the course of the journey, with its several unexpected detours into the lives of old friends and grown children, we see all there is to know about a marriage: the expectations; the disappointments; the way children can create storms in a family; the way the wife and husband can fall in love all over again; the way that everything - and nothing - changes.

"Sad. Only 3 stars from a big Anne T fan..."
I am a fan of AT and have read almost all her books. This is the first audio book of hers I have listened to. It was well narrated, no issues there. Had it bveen less well read, I'd be giving 2 stars. But the plot such as it is, takes place largely in flash-back form and the story is uber-light. Chief problem: the main character, Maggie, was so irritating - an irritation that crept up as the book moved slowly on - that I felt no sympathy or empathy for her. I was glad when the story, such as it was, ground to an inconclusive close. I think (and hope) I bought it in a sale, otherwise I'd class it as a waste of a credit.
