The book is about Annie, who leaves her husband in Toronto to go to Saskatchewan to attend her mother's funeral. She's convinced to stay around and take care of her newly inherited house. Annie stays longer than she intends, because she starts to learn about her ancestors and hometown, and eventually about herself and her marriage.
The story has potential, but seems drawn out and is not as effective as I would have expected. I have no doubt the author poured herself into writing the novel and cherished her characters, but she failed to grab me and pull me into the story. Actually, at one point the style of the book reminded me of a classic [book:Nancy Drew] book, but without the intrigue of mystery-solving -- and more adult than Nancy Drew ever was! (I'm probably the only one to make that connection, so don't place too much stock into it.)
I can't really recommend this book to anyone, unless they're looking for a self-discovery, small-town Canadiana novel with a few sex scenes.… (plus d'informations)
