A story of a marriage…
In an instant I went from wanting to save my marriage to wanting to stab him with one of our excellent Japanese knives.
I have read five other books by Nick Alexander The Other Son, The Road to Zoe, From Something Old, The Bottle of Tears as well as Perfectly Ordinary People and they were all four or five-star reads for me. He is an author that NEVER disappoints, so when I have a chance to read one of his books, I grab it.
As always, Nick has written an emotional and inspiring story about self-discovery, healing, and the power of love. The story is about Wendy, a nurse who is also a wife and mum. Wendy feels lost and is burnt out, so she goes to a cabin in France to get some alone time. But when she gets there, the cabin isn’t exactly what she hoped. It’s very isolated, but that makes Wendy face her feelings, such as grief, trauma and how her family is falling apart. Nick Alexander writes women believably. He is one of few authors who have impressed me with this capability. He captures Wendy’s emotions, vulnerability and growth very authentically.
I loved the relationship between Wendy and the postwoman. They supported each other and became friends despite their differences. Wendy found strength within this friendship. As always, Alexander found humour in the everyday, and he created relatable characters. The French Alps are a character themselves, and they’re a beautiful part of the story. This was such a touching story about personal growth and resilience, and it made me feel all the feels in equal measure.
