Marcel's Gift
One heart: two men.
She's found the love of her life, too bad it isn't the man she's in love with. Love is fickle. It comes disguised in many forms.
It sneaked up on Canadian artist, Solange Bernard, like an intangible fog, breathing its magic whispers into her heart--compelling her, bewitching her, smothering her in the enchantment that was Ambrose. Her heart should have warned her when it recognized loves' breathless spell. But she threw off the trappings of guilt and sin and wrapped herself in the shining aura of divine pleasure and discovery with Ambrose.
However, one question loomed with its confounding answer. "How was it possible for her to love two men at the same time...her husband and a priest of the Catholic Church?"

Despite the somewhat unique premise, this book is lovely. Marie Colligan has a flair for writing and her prose is smooth and elegant.
The characters in "Marcel's Gift" defy the norm and offer a glimpse into a place that the heart can go, no matter how much you fight it. With solid development, the main characters are likeable and flawed in their realism.
I truly enjoyed reading this book, and the elements that some people may call questionable, are actually plausible. This love story should not be confused with a romance novel as it flows in a completely different direction.
Readers of good women's fiction will appreciate the candor of this book. I look forward to more work from Marie Colligan.
