This is a sweet story about a woman beginning her life after the death of her husband. She takes many chances, relocates old friends and learns a lot about herself. The only thing I found distracting about Berg's writing was her tendency to write in long lists...descriptions of meals, what people were wearing, all the things she saw in a store. It was lyrical but boring at times. Still, a good book to read or listen to, especially if you like EB's work.
