Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion
I was so happy to read this story about Greta. It's not really about Greta and Bernard - but one of Greta and her past life in Paris and finding love but also losing herself a little bit. When she starts trying to find herself again at 70 - she doesn't know if her life should include her great love Bernard. But from Paris to Nantucket and back to Paris - we learn about their love and how strong and pure it truly is. What a fantastic book!
I love this series. Book 4 focuses on the love affair between Bernard Copperfield and Greta Richards, the heads of the Copperfield family on Nantucket Island. The intelligent, beautiful and vibrant Greta has deteriorated and lost all of her zest of life while her husband spends 25 years in prison. When Bernard returns home, she faces the truth about herself. She has to try to become the woman she was in her youth, and she is the only one that can make this happen. The scenes in Paris in the past and present are wonderful. I really appreciate the originality of the whole series. Storylines and characters are clearly delineated. Love and family are central. I highly recommend this book.

This Series Set in Nantucket has been an Adventure of Love, Family, Discourse, Battles of the Past Resolving Into The Future and Most Of All Finding Peace With What Life Sends Your Way. I can't wait until the next book come out in February 2023.
Deeper and deeper this story goes into the lives of these two people and their lives. Is this the end of this amazing family and their relationships. I don’t see how it could be.
