Lovely and unexpected

This is the story of Rita, a forty-something woman who loses her husband without warning. Throughout the course of the book, her challenge is to see herself as something more than a widow. I loved the way Ms. Thompson dealt with the real issues of a familiar, somewhat dull but mostly happy marriage and the pain over losing that comfort. Rita's struggles to recreate herself and her life are so real and heartfelt, and the mistakes she makes along the way were both touching and hilarious. Unique, beautifully descriptive and well-paced. I highly recommend it.

I can't wait to go to Provence

This was a quick and easy read that makes you want to go to Provence. The writing made you feel like you were experiencing this adventure along with the character. I ordered another book for a friend, as I read it on the Kindle version.
