Just when you think it can't get any better than The Winemaker's Wife,or the House on Rue Amalie-THIS!
The present day story of a woman, living on Cape Cod(I love the setting), who recently buried her mother, trying to del with an obnoxious ex husband ,and contending with a 12 year old daughter going through teenage rages. And her Grandmother, Mamie, who's story is also told, from her beginnings in France to her current situation battling Alzheimer's in an assisted living home. So many stories are weaved spanning a seventy year period. I just want to mention, I was about three chapters from the end,when the tears started falling, while I was reading by the pool, alone, luckily.Oddly, the same page has what looked like tear stains rolling down it!
