THE STATE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

by Oscar. CULLMANN

Melissa Sherman moved to the quiet town of Butterfield, amid the rugged mountains and lakes of Vermont, to escape the pain of a broken heart. Now she has built a life for herself and seems to have everything she could wish for. But she still feels a corrosive sense of loneliness. Something is missing from her life. When she befriends Lisa who has recently moved to the country with her husband Ben, Mel cannot help but be reminded of everything she has lost. But when Lisa’s life is shattered by tragedy, and Ben turns to Mel for reassurance, Mel herself is drawn to him with an all-consuming passion that precludes all else.

geen vrolijk boek maar wel een ontroerend boek. Mels ware liefde heeft haar hart gebroken en ze is toen getrouwd met een dominante man en na zijn dood heeft ze haar ware liefde nog steeds niet vergeten. tijdens een uitje raakt haar beste vriendin gewond en dat veranderd haar hele leven. Ben is gelukkig getrouwd en zijn vrouw is zwanger maar dan verliest ze het kind en hun huwelijk leidt daar onder. hun verdriet drijft Mel en Ben dichter na elkaar toe. veel ellende maar gelukkig ook nog genoeg leuke dingen. was geen slecht boek maar niet eentje die ik zo snel nog een keer zou lezen.

Set in the USA - this was something of a departure for me as I have been recently indulging in a truly pleasant and trio of books featuring Italy.

Consequently, whilst this was certainly a worthwhile read, after I had finished it, I started to think of different situations and scenarios; an unusual occurrence in my experience.

Well written but also somewhat stereotypically, full of affluence, and well-educated, professional characters with one quite different one, so that I now have much more knowledge of climbing.

Uneven and confusing. It's been a long time since I tried reading a romance book and it was not a good choice. The story had a few good moments but that's about it.

I found this book very depressing. Everyone seems to either die or be desperately broken-hearted. It was a good story with interesting characters and relationships, it was just really sad. There are a few happy parts, but if you're going to read this book make sure you have the tissues ready!

Sad all the way. But this is what I'm searching for. Not much of what I would rather have, the story lingering in a silent uneventful country side.
Though it is a good ending, no worry on that.

fantastisk god og underholdende bog, som gør ondt på de rigtige steder.
