Leslie just signed her divorce papers before leaving for a conference in Venice which incidentally is where her son to be Ex will be for business. And this also happens to be the city where they were married years ago. The change of scenery brings about a lot of reflection about the past and many changes for her future, both good and bad.
I really enjoyed this story. It was well written and even though it went back into the past several times, it was all easy to follow. The authors used this well to work in the back story to what lead to the demise of their marriage. I like how both characters used this trip as an opportunity to reflect on their past relationship. It made me think about how our perspective can be changed both by someone’s presence as much as their absence. About the possibility of a second chance.

Leslie's story set amongst the beauty of Venice is a winner!
Beautiful, heart warming, and throughout the book keep hoping that for Leslie and Greg there will be a path towards a life together. This book is well-written, and within its pages Venice becomes as important as a 3rd character. It's perfectly clear without Venice no happy ending could have happened. I loved the book; so much so, in fact, that it will remain on my 're-read ' list. I recommend this book to all, especially those who've experienced a 'redux' of their own. The authors write with clarity, and great understanding of the human heart. Bravo!

A free read for Kindle from Amazon. It's more of a travelogue than a novelette--while I liked the descriptions of food, I started skimming the descriptions of the canals and islands. While the description says it's 165 pages, it's really 209.
The definition of redux is "brought back, restored". It could also be "re ducks" and since Murano is at Venice--

Not my favorite. Took me too long to read. It was just not very interesting. The story just didn't grab me. I did enjoy the locations described in the story and the ending.
