Özet

In the tradition of Marisa de los Santos and Anne Tyler comes a moving debut about a young mother’s year of heartbreak, loss, and forgiveness—and help that arrives from unexpected sources.

Four months after her husband’s death, Janie LaMarche remains undone by grief and anger. Her mourning is disrupted, however, by the unexpected arrival of a builder with a contract to add a porch onto her house. Stunned, Janie realizes the porch was meant to be a surprise from her husband—now his last gift to her.

As she reluctantly allows construction to begin, Janie clings to the familiar outposts of her sorrow—mothering her two small children with fierce protectiveness, avoiding friends and family, and stewing in a rage she can’t release. Yet Janie’s self-imposed isolation is breached by a cast of unlikely interventionists: her chattering, ipecac-toting aunt; her bossy, overmanicured neighbor; her muffin-bearing cousin; and even Tug, the contractor with a private grief all his own.

As the porch takes shape, Janie discovers that the unknowable terrain of the future is best navigated with the help of others—even those we least expect to call on, much less learn to love.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“A gorgeous paradox of a book: a deep, thoughtful exploration of a young mother’s first year of widowhood that is as much a page turner as any thriller.” (Marisa de los Santos, New York Times best-selling author)

Wasn’t at all sure about the narration at first but the story drew me in - then I got to love everything about this wonderful novel.

A great surprise

I started this book and was unsure whether to continue as I thought it was going to be either sugar sweet predictable ending or so far into the grief that I wasn’t at a place I could handle that. However as the characters and story developed I found it sympathetic and trying to deal with real feelings within a hopeful outcome. I enjoyed it and the varied characters.

Unexpected good story

Very infrequently do I spend the time to leave a review but this book was such a pleasant surprise that I felt I had to.
The protagonist loses her husband in an accident that maybe was preventable and she has to deal with the consequences. A story of love, forgiveness & at times quandary. I loved the story as the overarching theme is forgiveness & new beginnings.

Sad, happy & very good all at once!

Enjoyed listening to book even if a bit predictable . Could have been shortened a bit in my opinion

Good listen
