Description
Lee Emery is an empty nester, contentedly married to a man she has known forever and hunkering down in the house where she grew up. She believes she is happy occupying such a familiar emotional and physical space. But questions of the path not taken start to haunt her after she publishes a memoir of her deliciously eccentric grandmother with whom she traipsed through Europe at eighteen. It was then that Lee fell in love for the first time. Twenty-five years later, "what if" obsessions shake show more up her settled life. Should she have made a different choice--Simon--instead of the man now next to her? Struck once more by the lingering power of first love, she sets off a chain of events that catapults her back to Europe and to a second chance that she may or may not want to risk. show lessTags

Both husband and wife are authors, one academic and one of memoirs, and they've had a comfortable marriage long enough to have grown children. However, Lee has never gotten over the affair she had in her youth while traveling with her grandmother in England, and writing the memoir of her grandmother has heightened her unresolved feelings. Although the reunion of Lee and her heart-throb seems inevitable, the ending of the book took me by disappointing surprise. The underlying story of the grandmother is a terrific backdrop for the present day issues.
There were peaks and valleys in this book. I loved Hanibal Hamlin College..none exists in Maine. Not the best book I ever read and certainly not the worst. Would I buy this again? Yes, I know the author.
IT WAS JUST OK. I HATED THE ENDING.
