Blossom Street #7
Hannah's List
"My darling Michael, I know this letter will come as a shock to you...."
On the anniversary of his beloved wife's death, Dr. Michael Everett receives a letter Hannah had written him. In it she reminds him of her love and makes one final request. An impossible I want you to marry again. She tells him he shouldn't spend the years he has left grieving her. And to that end she's chosen three women she asks him to consider.
First on Hannah's list is Winter Adams, who owns a cafe on Seattle's Blossom Street. The second is Leanne Lancaster, Hannah's oncology nurse. Michael knows them both. But the third name is one he's not familiar with--Macy Roth.
Each woman has her own heartache, her own private grief. During the months that follow, he spends time with Winter, Leanne and Macy, learning more about each of them...and about himself. He's a man who needs the completeness only love can offer. And Hannah's list leads him to the woman who can help him find it.

Once in a while most readers stumble across a book that leads them to ask "How was this ever published?" For me, Hannah's List is that book. I'll start by saying I'm not a fan of romance and tend to avoid the genre. But, I read the blurb about this book and was intrigued. The idea is brilliant and had the potential to be an excellent story. I also read the reviews on Goodreads, and there were some pretty good ones. So, I thought, I'm trying new things, how about giving romance a chance? So I did, and boy am I disappointed.
It's almost a challenge to pick what I disliked most about this book. I thought the writing was incredibly poor. There was a lot of telling, not showing, going on in this book, with various recaps provided by the author as if the reader was far to stupid to remember what had happened a chapter ago. Transitions between paragraphs or memories were poorly done. In fact, the view point of this book changed throughout also. At first we begin in the first person of Michael Everett. But then, we move into the third person for his love interests. I've not seen this done before, and I did not like it. Perhaps if the writing were better, more engaging, then the the author could've pulled it off. But it wasn't, and she didn't, and it just seemed she was trying to fill the pages with information that really didn't need to be in the story at all.
Most of the characters were same-same, showing similar, stilted and predictable dialogue. I wouldn't say I could identify with any of the characters and I found the massive change in Michael's feelings seemingly over night in the book very hard to deal with. In a book such as this, I expect a certain level of development, showing us how people move through grief. While there was a certain element of this, it was unrealistic.
Two of the characters were well-developed. However, one of these could be crowned the most annoying character in the history of novel writing. One of the love interests of the main protagonist was incredibly unlikable. She was childish, and had a "poor me, the world is unfair" kind of attitude - not something I look for in characters I want to identify with. The other of the well-developed characters was repeatedly referred to as 'cantankerous'. I swear there's a correlation between the quality of a book and the number of times a particular word or phrase is repeated.
If you like well-developed characters who you can grow to like, excellent writing where not a word is wasted, and a tight, coherent story that keeps you engaged, do not read this book.

3.5 Stars.
I loved the Blossom Street books, and when I saw there was more added to the series, I decided to purchase them. Unfortunately, Hannah’s List is a disappointment. The book is slow and repetitive, and the main character Michael needs an injection of personality.

Man man man... Ich brauche dringend mal wieder ein Romance Highlight. Die Gabe der Liebe wars jedenfalls nicht. Vollkommen bescheuerte und kommunikationsverweigernde Figuren 😣

This is number 7 in Debbie Macomber’s Blossom Street Series. I love this series – it is about friendship, love and knitting. These are fun, easy-to-read, heartwarming books that will appeal to most women.
This book follows Michael, a man who a year ago lost his wife to cancer. Hannah was the love of his life and her death devasted him. On the anniversary of Hannah’s death he goes out for dinner with her brother, who gives him a letter Hannah has written. In it she writes that she wants him to re-marry and has suggested three ladies who might be suitable. Michael hates the idea of this but to honour Hannah he meets all these woman – and one of them will change his life.
I was reading what Debbie Macomber had to say at the beginning of this book and I was touched to find out that this is based on a true story – she had a friend who did this and I thought that was lovely.
I love the Blossom Street books. I find I can’t put them down once I’ve started. Macomber has a way of drawing me into the story and adding in the characters from other books in the series to keep it all tied together. I felt for Michael – how hard must it be to lose your spouse and then to receive a letter they have written asking you to remarry? I felt his character was well written – sometimes he was sad, other times angry – at everything, including Hannah – and yet we watched him heal so often by the end he was happy – and of course he fell in love, which was so nice to read.
Honestly, the storyline is not a surprise. The ending isn’t hard to guess but I don’t mind that in Macomber’s books because I get very engaged in the story. I liked the characters – all had their own story and I loved reading about their lives and seeing the effect one person could have on them all. Hannah seemed so special and friends and family really were rooting were Michael to love again.
These books are enjoyable, lovely, engaging reads. I can easily read one straight after the other. Macomber is one of my favourite authors and I highly recommend her. I love the storyline, her books don’t contain bad language or graphic love scenes, her writing is easy to read and easy to follow and I love these books! It isn’t hard for me to give this book four out of five – maybe next time the ending will surprise me!

I've been avoiding this author, not consciously, just with an fairly good idea that what she writes is not really my cuppa. (Ahh...patio furniture novels). But I felt like it was time I tried one, so I'd know whether or not to recommend them. I tend to be not as interested in what I call 'sweet' or 'gentle' romances. This was definitely of that sort.
I will say that I did not like the choice to mix the 1st person POV of the hero with 3rd person POV for the three women involved. Pick one or the other. Mixing them is just laziness on the part of the author, in my opinion. Other than that the writing was competent. The plot and character motivations were clear. This was a book that depended mostly on the characters thoughts, followed next in importance by the conversations the characters had. Almost no effort was made to set any sort of scene. Descriptions of place or characters were practically nonexistant. While the fact that Hannah had died and Michael missed her was sad, the writing was not such that for me I felt any real need to cry or whatever. The writing style kept me a bit removed from the emotions of the story.
The heroine was an interesting character. You knew from the beginning which woman he would choose. I liked her ditsy artist style although she was just a bit too insecure. I would have liked her to be more self assured in her differentness. You didn't really see/experience the couple falling in love they just were which was fine in this light of a romance. The secondary characters were well drawn. I was almost as interested in seeing the two women he didn't choose get the opportunity to mend things with the men they really loved as I was to see Michel get his HEA. I also really liked the old man, Harvey.
If you're looking for excitement, drama, angst etc., not going to find it here. If you want a sweet story with people who seem true to life, a story that you could see actually happening in real life, this is perfect for you. This was nice, I enjoyed it, for myself though, I just want a wilder ride in my fiction. I can say though that I can happily and confidently recommend DM's books to customers who tell me they want something sweet.

I understand that this is a contemporary romance, so it's going to be a little sappy, but this book was ridiculous. I liked the premise: Hannah knows she's going to die of cancer so she writes a list of 3 women who might make a good wife for her husband after she passes. I especially liked that it was inspired by a real woman and I think that's a very interesting idea; however, I did not believe any of the characters at all. I felt like this was happening in a fake world. There was absolutely no grit, no rawness or sense of reality. Which, again, is fine, I suppose, if that's Macomber's style. But then don't try to "urbanize" it. The husband is a dr. and volunteers at a community clinic where one of his patients, Shamica (read: black woman), is a victim of domestic violence. This part felt trite at best, offensive & racist at worst. The other thing that bothered me was the way everyone spoke. These 3 women were supposed to be in their twenties and early thirties in 2010 and they all said, "Oh, Michael, I'm so glad you phoned," more times than I can count! What 20-something year old woman says "phoned"? And then his feelings switched on a dime: one moment he's in such deep mourning, he couldn't even imagine marrying again, the next, he's buying an engagement ring for a woman he barely knows! What? Again, I don't mind a healthy helping of romantic cheese, but gimme a little substance underneath.

Ich habe dieses Buch gelesen, weil ich bereits andere Teile der Blossom Street Reihe habe. Aber eigentlich hat mich auch die Kurzbeschreibung gereizt. Die liebende Ehefrau verfasst im Sterben liegend noch einen letzten Brief an ihren Mann, mit der Bitte dass er wieder glücklich werden möge und liefert auch gleich drei potentielle Nachfolgerinnen. Die haben sozusagen den 'Hannah Approved' Stempel.
Die Geschichte um den Witwer Michael fand ich dann auch noch interessant. Er erzählt ein bisschen von seinem jetzigen Gefühlszustand, der sehr nachvollziehbar dargestellt war. Ebenso mochte ich die Einblicke, die wir in Macys Leben erhalten. Was aber sonst nebenbei im Leben der Damen auf der Liste abläuft hat mich weniger interessiert, diese Nebenhandlungen hielten mich eigentlich nur auf. Das Ende (Wegrennen, absoluter Kontaktabbruch wegen einer 'Lappalie', plötzliche Heiratsanträge und umgehende Babypläne) fand ich auch komisch, vielleicht passt es aber zur amerikanischen Leserschaft?
Insgesamt hapert es bei mir und meiner mangelnden Begeisterung aber wohl eher am Schreibstil, der mir das Gefühl gibt dass ich noch ca. 10-15 Jahre zu jung für diese Art von Buch bin. Momentan mag ich eher was frischeres, lebendigeres lesen.

Review copy provided by publisher
It's been one year since Hannah's death. Hannah was just 36 years old when she passed away from ovarian cancer. Her husband, Michael, was at her bedside when she passed. Hannah and Michael had been trying to start a family when she was diagnosed. After 18 months of trying unsuccessfully they saw a fertility specialist only to find out that Hannah had stage-four ovarian cancer. The cancer was terminal and taking over very quickly.
During the year following Hannah's death, Michael has been living his life filled with sorrow and grief, just going through the motions of day-to-day tasks. He goes to the gym in the mornings with Ritchie, Hannah's brother and Michael's best friend. After which he goes to work as a pediatrician.
On the one-year anniversary of Hannah's death, Ritchie hands Michael a letter; a letter from Hannah.
In the letter, Hannah's urges Michael to marry again and have children and be the father he is destined to be. She goes on to list three women that would make a good wife and companion, each with her own unique qualities and attributes.
The first woman on the list is Winter Adams, Hannah's cousin who owns a french cafe. Winter has a big heart and loves children. She also cooks incredible meals.
Second, there's Leanne Lancaster, Hannah's oncology nurse, who is divorced and going through a rough time of her own. Hannah had admired her emotional strength. Leanne is kind and caring.
And lastly, there's Macy Roth, whom Hannah describes as "funny and clever and multi-talented". Hannah believes that Macy will make him smile and bring balance to his life.
Hannah's List is told from first POV (Michael) and 3rd POV narrative (everyone else). I didn't realize this until about 4-5 chapters in but it helped me experience Michael's emotions first hand. I have to admit, I was emotionally spent after reading the first couple of chapters. My chest ached from my uncontrollable sobbing. Have the tissues ready! But Hannah's List was definitely worth all the tears I shed.
At just a bit over 400 pages, Hannah's List appears to be long but I was so wrapped up in the story that it went by pretty smooth and fast. Macomber's writing got me emotionally involved and attached to the characters. And I'm pleased to say that I'm happy with Michael's final decision. The only thing I found missing was sizzle; there is no seduction or love scenes in Hannah's List, which I was okay with. After all, the focus of this book is more about emotions and relationships.
Until now, I hadn't heard of Debbie Macomber. I am glad that I was given the opportunity to read Hannah's List. The premise grabbed me and Macomber had me from the very first couple of pages. I will certainly be checking out her other novels. Nicholas Sparks fans will surely enjoy Hannah's List.

My darling Michael,
I know this letter will come as a shock to you and I apologize for that. It's been a year now and I imagine it's been a difficult one for you, as well as our parents and Ritchie. I would've given anything to have spared you this grief.

If you've read any of my old reviews, you know that I'm a big Debbie Macomber fan. She knows how to weave a good story and tug at the heartstrings. So, when I was approached by Big Honcho Media to help with their media blitz to promote Debbie's newest release, I jumped at the chance. Today, you're getting a review of Hannah's List. And tomorrow, we're starting a contest that will give away 3 copies of the book as well as an extra special prize.
But today is about the review...
Occasionally, we get an opportunity to change our lives—whether it’s another chance at love, changing the path we’ve chosen or going back and making amends for the past. Hannah's List is the story of a widower who is given an unexpected letter from his wife on the first anniversary of her death. In a remarkable act of love, Hannah includes a list of three women for him to consider marrying. With a unique twist and intriguing element, readers will be in for a wonderful story of a love that transcends time, hope that is exceptionally unselfish, and the possibility of a future otherwise unfathomable. An unexpected letter. An impossible request. The gift of a second chance.
Debbie Macomber has written another tear jerker. From page one, as Michael is reflecting on the loss of his wife and how hard the year has been without her, I was drawn into the story. And I didn't want to put the book down as Michael struggles to follow through with Hannah's last wish to fall in love again.
Now the book could've expanded a little more on Hannah's battle with breast cancer. And Michael probably gave in to Hannah's list a little too easily and quickly. But overall, I really enjoyed the story and the quirky characters Ms. Macomber sprinkled throughout the novel. I recommend Hannah's List for those looking for a sweet romance that is guaranteed to produce a few tears.

i finished the book and i thought it was really good
April 22, 2010
I saw the premise of this book and was intrigued. Dr. Michael Everett had been married to the love of his life, Hannah, for 12 years, until she died. The book starts on the one-year anniversary of Hannah's death. Hannah's brother Ritchie gives Michael a letter she had written before she died, asking Ritchie to give it to Michael after a year had passed. In the letter, Hannah tells Michael how much she loved him, and that she wants him to be happy. She then goes on to ask him to start dating again, going so far as to list three women she thinks would be good candidates to settle down with and start a family.
Oh my gosh - I can't lie, the first few pages made me teary-eyed. Ms. Macomber just drew me right in to the pain and anguish Michael still feels at losing his wife, even a year later. His feelings for his wife are so sweet and raw and good. You could tell he'd gone back to living his day-to-day life again, but he was just going to the motions. After much introspection, and gentle (and not-so-gentle) coaxing from his brother-in-law, he decides to at least attempt to honor Hannah's last wish.
The three women on Hannah's list are:
Winter Adams, Hannah's cousin and friend. Winter owns a french bakery and is on a "break" with her on again-off again boyfriend, Pierre. When Hannah originally wrote the letter Hannah and Pierre had broken things off. Now, a year later, they're taking a break again, after trying uncussessfully to make things work again.
Leanne Lancaster, who was one of Hannah's oncology nurses. Leanne had been married, but around the time Hannah had started chemo Leanne's husband, an accountant, had gotten into huge trouble for unscrupulus financial reasons, and Leanne had divorced him.
Macy Roth is an artist/model /actress who was friends with Hannah but Michael didn't know. Macy is a bit of a free spirit, someone who takes life as it comes and loves people and animals. She's never been married and has a cantankerous old neighbor whom I loved.
All three seemed to be kind, smart, generous women. I liked two of them and thought they'd be good for Michael, one got on my nerves a bit (okay, a lot). And poor Michael, he was so out of practice with dating and he'd sort of jumped in with both feet; at one point he found himself trying to remember who'd cooked which meal for him!
I breezed through this book! It was such a sweet story, the characters were likeable and Ms. Macomber's style of writing put vivid pictures in my head as I read. I really liked Michael and his love for Hannah was so sweet. The secondary characters' stories were woven in nicely. As I mentioned above, I loved Macy's neighbor, Harvey, and Michael's brother-in-law, Ritchie - they were just "good people", if you know what I mean.
It wasn't until about Chapter 8 that I realized Michael's story was told in 1st person POV and everyone else was told in 3rd person POV. It seems like that would be awkward, but it wasn't; I don't think I've read another book written like that but I liked it - I feel like it made me feel closer to Michael.
While Michael didn't end up with the person I would have chosen for him, Ms. Macomber wrapped things up nicely and everyone did get an HEA. Now, if you're looking for "sexytime in your storytime", you won't find any, but if you're looking for a light, sweet read, then this is a book you'd enjoy. I give Hannah's List 4 out of 5 stars.
Oh my gosh - I can't lie, the first few pages made me teary-eyed. Ms. Macomber just drew me right in to the pain and anguish Michael still feels at losing his wife, even a year later. His feelings for his wife are so sweet and raw and good. You could tell he'd gone back to living his day-to-day life again, but he was just going to the motions. After much introspection, and gentle (and not-so-gentle) coaxing from his brother-in-law, he decides to at least attempt to honor Hannah's last wish.
The three women on Hannah's list are:
Winter Adams, Hannah's cousin and friend. Winter owns a french bakery and is on a "break" with her on again-off again boyfriend, Pierre. When Hannah originally wrote the letter Hannah and Pierre had broken things off. Now, a year later, they're taking a break again, after trying uncussessfully to make things work again.
Leanne Lancaster, who was one of Hannah's oncology nurses. Leanne had been married, but around the time Hannah had started chemo Leanne's husband, an accountant, had gotten into huge trouble for unscrupulus financial reasons, and Leanne had divorced him.
Macy Roth is an artist/model /actress who was friends with Hannah but Michael didn't know. Macy is a bit of a free spirit, someone who takes life as it comes and loves people and animals. She's never been married and has a cantankerous old neighbor whom I loved.
All three seemed to be kind, smart, generous women. I liked two of them and thought they'd be good for Michael, one got on my nerves a bit (okay, a lot). And poor Michael, he was so out of practice with dating and he'd sort of jumped in with both feet; at one point he found himself trying to remember who'd cooked which meal for him!

"Hannah's List" is another first for me. This is my first book by Debbie Macomber. Debbie has such a good sense of how to manipulate the reader to really care about the characters. I love this book. I read it in 2 days. That's how good it is.
Let me start off that the main character in this book "Michael" loses his wife Hannah to cancer. And on the year of his wife's death his brother-in-law gives him a letter from his dead wife. Hannah wrote a letter for Michael before she died explaining how she wants him to marry and have children. She knew he wouldn't go out and date so she wrote him a list of 3 women she feels would have a good impact in Michael's life. But how can he remarry when he is still in love with his dead wife. So at first Michael wasn't interested whatsoever. But with the encouragement of his brother-in-law he meets the ladies his wife put on his list.
So he meets them one by one and they all help him start moving on and letting go of his dead wife. They teach him to enjoy life again, to laugh, to smile and most of all ONE special one teaches him to love again. A feeling he thought he'd never feel again but he was wrong and Hannah was right. Finally happy once again all thanks to "Hannah's List". =)

This wasn't up to Macomber's usual standards. It was a unique premise and rather unique that a man is the center focus of the romance novel. However, before half way through, you knew exactly how it would end, and who would end up with who. All that was missing was the details of how they'd get there. It wasn't bad. It was okay. But okay was all it was because I got bored because the ending was so predictable and I had half the book to go to get there. It was good enough I wouldn't tell anyone not to read it, but I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it either.
It's not a blossom street book per se, but fleeting appearances are made by some blossom street regulars.

From the very beginning this book had me in tears. It was so sad, and hard to read I just wanted to cry. But finally it got better and better. By the end I had a smile on my face. It was such a sweet read. I love stories like this.

This book is pretty cheesy, but that's not always a bad thing. I lost track of how many times I rolled my eyes during the story though.

At one point in this book, the main character says something, then adds “If I may allow myself that cliche.” Great sentiment, Debbie, but since the plot of the book is grieving-widower-with-perfect-wife is cured by manic-pixie-dream-girl (who ofc hate each other upon meeting but quickly discover their chemistry) I don’t think you should really be worrying about a cliche in one sentence.
Practically, this relationship will never work, but with books in this area, I almost feel like I’m not supposed to care. 3 stars because it knows what it is

a wonderful Debbie Macomber tale.......
October 16, 2010
It had been a year since Hannah’s death and while Michael Everett had continued his life, he still hadn’t moved on. Knowing her husband the way she did, Hannah left a letter with her brother, Ritchie (Michael’s best friend) with instructions of when to deliver it. One year after her death she was giving him one more last request, move on, re-marry, have kids, be happy. It would be a difficult request to fulfill so Hannah had given him the help he needed. The rest of the letter contained names of three women: Winter Adams - Hannah’s own cousin and the owner of the café on Blossom Street.
Leanne Lancaster - an oncology nurse that was always kind and caring. Macy Roth - a model and artist that was funny and clever and always has a smile to share. Not believing for a minute that he would pick one of his late wife’s choices to be a wife to him now, but knowing he had to grant her final wish, he decided to give it a try.
Book 7 ….. A little different perspective than normal, it is all from the mans (Michaels) point of view. Not mush of a connection to Blossom street, but wow - it was an emotional ride. From the first paragraph to the last it was an emotional book for me. There was a connection with the characters were from the beginning. The ladies all had problems as does Michael, but that just makes them all easier to relate to. Predictable - yes the one you think he ends up with from the beginning is the one he ends up with, but it’s the journey and not the outcome that makes this emotional drama worth the time. Tears flowed, for varied reasons and after all the “I knew its” I just reminded myself that this is why I like Debbie Macomber books so much. The simple yet emotional charged story of a man trying to move on.

This is my first Debbie Macomber novel and not my last. It seems for some reason I always hesitate to buy the novels that most people are crazy over. It is my understanding that just her name will sell a book before synopsis or title is available. I would not say that this is my favorite author, but she was definitely enjoyable for a general market fiction. Coming as a reader of various genres I generally like my fiction to be tasteful and for the most part this was. There were about five sexual sentences in the whole book and if they were removed I think it would not have changed the plot or emotions of the scenes one bit but would have made it more tasteful for my opinion.
Hannah's List is a story of a widower and a letter that his wife wrote him urging him to move forward in life. Personally this is a tough subject for me as I'm fairly set in the one and only rule, but the author really does show a point and paints a fair story. I think that this was an incredibly touching read as you get to know the full handful of characters. Easily this could be a great and touching drama film. I do highly recommend this read. I am so glad that I was able to read it, and I look forward to adding more Debbie Macomber books to my shelf in the future.

I'm going with 2.5 stars because it's better than meh, but it starts out kind of awful. Not the letter. The letter is what'll likely keep you going. No, it's all the "my dead wife" mentions. And we're not talking about his many mentions of Hannah. Nope, it's the actual 'dead wife' stuff that's just... the start of the book is rocky at best. I didn't actually find all that much to really like about Micheal at all and I get that he's grieving and not anywhere near his best. But we so rarely got to see him be this charming pediatrician who is marvelous with children- we're just told that he is. I was far more interested in the ladies of Hannah's list, even though it's obvious from the start who Michael is meant to be with and the book pretty much never wavers from that.

I was struggling with this and only finished it for Harvey's sake, because I really liked that character.
I knew to expect a story with a lot of sugar on top, so I can't complain about that. But I agree with a number of other reviewers who said that there's a lot of "filling material" in there.
Above all though, I really, really disliked the main character who came across like an extremely self-righteous person - his values and principles define what's good and bad. He feels it's entirely up to him to "fend off" all ladies or choose one, and the thought that one or all of the women on Hannah's list might have their own ideas about a relationship with him seems to never cross his mind.
Sorry, I really can't recommend this one.

So much no. Main character who lost his wife is a pretentious clown and can’t seem to think for himself. I only got 1/4 in but a year after she dies he starts dating. He doesn’t want to, but dead wife wants him to find a new wife and have babies and be happy. Could be an interesting premise, but I can’t relate to any of the characters. All the women are annoying. I felt a bit angry that he’s not sincerely interested in the women dead wife wanted him to meet - and that the women should throw themselves at him because, ooo, he’s a doctor. Also, men can have babies well into old age, so why not let the man grieve or brood however long he wants? He can breed when he’s feeling better.

This book barely deserves one star. It could have been better if not for its extreme predictability. I guessed right from the very beginning (pg. 41) which lady the good doctor would end up with at the end of the story. The author should and could have tried harder to conceal the ending from the VERY beginning, but she didn't bother at all, and that's why her book ends up being a pointless, boring and sappy read. Stay away. =(

While overall somewhat predictable, some of the twists were unexpected and the entire book was very sweet -- at times heartbreakingly so. Bring tissues.

Besides trying to keep each woman straight, it was a fun book to read.

"Die Gabe der Liebe" wird der Blossom Street Reihe zugeordnet, hat aber nur sehr unwesentlich damit zu tun. Einzig Winter Adams ist die Besitzerin des French Cafés in der Blossom Street und ist in diesem Roman ein Nebencharakter. Hauptprotagonist ist aber diesmal ein Mann und zwar Kinderarzt Michael. Er ist seit einem Jahr Witwer und trauert noch immer sehr um seine Frau Hannah.
Als er mit seinem Schwager bei einem gemütlichen Bier zusammensitzt, übergibt ihm Richie ein Kuvert. Es ist Hannah's letzter Brief, der Michael nach dem Trauerjahr bekommen soll. Sie bittet ihren Mann wieder am Leben teilzuhaben. Es sei Zeit loszulassen und in die Zukunft zu schauen und die stellt sich Hannah für ihren Mann mit einer neuen Frau an seiner Seite vor. Es kommt sogar so weit, dass sie ihm drei mögliche Kandidatinnen vorschlägt.
Dies sind Winter Adams, Hannah's Kusine, und besagte Besitzerin des French Cafés in der Blossom Street. Sie ist die Chefin von Alix, die auch hier kurze Auftritte hat und die wir bereits aus einigen Büchern der Reihe kennen. Winter führte eine etwas komplizierte On/Off Beziehung zum französischen Koch Pierre und ist momentan wieder getrennt.
Kandidatin Nummer zwei ist Leanne Lancaster. Sie war Hannah's Krankenschwester und hat ebenfalls eine sehr schwere Zeit durchgemacht. Sie hat sich von ihrem Mann scheiden lassen, der Geld hinterzogen hat und seitdem zu Leanne keinen Kontakt mehr wünscht. Erst bei der Verhandlung erfuhr sie den Grund seines Betruges. Leanne ist sehr einfühlsam und liebenswert.
Die Dritte im Bunde ist Macy Roth, chaotische Künstlerin und Model. Sie verschenkt ihr Herz an streunende Katzen und Hunde, die sie bei sich zuhause aufnimmt. Außerdem kümmert sie sich um den schrulligen alten Nachbar gegenüber und kommt notorisch zu spät.
Zwei der vorgeschlagenen Frauen kämpfen noch mit ihren Altlasten und bei Macy ist sich Michael sicher, dass es sich nur um einen Irrtum handeln kann....
Michael ist über Hannah's Wunsch entsetzt und fühlt sich vor dem Kopf gestoßen. Wie soll er sich auf eine neue Frau einlassen können, wenn er doch Hannah noch immer liebt und um sie trauert? Und wann und wo sollte er diese Frauen treffen? Er ist doch tagein, tagaus in der Klinik und trifft sich seit Hannah's Diagnose nicht einmal mehr zu den Pokerabenden mit seinen Freunden.
Auch in diesem Band hat die Autorin wieder eine Geschichte, wo es um Schicksalschläge geht, die man zu überwinden hat. Trotz des Themas der Trauerbewältigung ist die Story locker und amüsant. Vorallem das Aufeinandertreffen von Michael mit den diversen Frauen birgt so einiges an Humor.
Obwohl ich mir gut vorstellen kann, dass jemand so einen Brief schreibt (automatisch denkt man auch an P.S. ich liebe dich), fand ich es äußerst unglaubwürdig, dass Hannah gleich drei bestimmte Kandidatinnen vorgeschlägt. Das erinnerte mich eher an eine Casting-Show.
Wie gewohnt begleiten wir abwechselnd die Protagonisten, wobei Michael den Hauptpart einnimmt. Die Figuren sind wieder sehr vielschichtig und lebensecht dargestellt. Alle vier möchten ein neues Kapitel in ihrem Leben beginnen und sich von Enttäuschungen und der Trauer verabschieden.
Leider konnte mich schon der letzte Band der Blossom Street nicht so ganz überzeugen und auch beim siebenten Band, der irgendwie gar nicht zur Reihe gehört, ist es ähnlich. "Die Gabe der Liebe" konnte mich nicht so sehr in den Bann ziehen, wie zum Beispiel "Der Garten des Lebens" oder "Eine Schachtel voller Glück" (BTW...wer lässt sich eigentlich diese komischen Titel einfallen??)
Schreibstil:
Sehr viel brauche ich über Debbie Macombers Schreibstil nicht mehr zu sagen. Er ist gewohnt leicht, glänzt mit Humor und bringt auch ernste Themen locker rüber. Die Kapitel sind nach den handelnden Figuren unterteilt. Michael erzählt in der Ich-Form, während die drei Frauen in der 3. Person berichten.
Fazit:
Ein Roman, der zwar der Blossom Street Reihe zugeordnet wird, aber auch alleinstehend gelesen werden kann. Das Thema Trauerbewältigung wird wie immer mit viel Empathie und der Hoffnung auf einem Neuanfang behandelt. Gewohnte leichte Wohlfühllektüre, wobei es in der Reihe bessere und schlechtere Romane gibt. Trotzdem komme ich immer wieder gerne in die Blossom Street zurück.

I hope this is the book I read, I don't see the cover I did read though, but I think this is a pretty similar description of the one I did read, i think??! wow, wee 10 books in this series, found it at Walmart for a good price. I love Debbie!! love this cover! I admit there are some tear-jerk-er moments in this read ...but an HEA moment too. I read book #8 in this series and enjoyed it a bit more than this one, but that doesn't mean I did enjoy this read, just have to say my peace ... considering I read book 8 before book #7 apparently ...who knew, I sure didn't and I feel you can read Debbie's books not in order and you don't feel lost at any point ...you might enjoy reading them in order if you wanna know every single detail. but I find no issue reading hers out of order. Just my 2 cents there! Do as you please but do read Debbie ...she is just a peach ... love her style ... love her to pieces and yes i will be reading more from her very very soon. She is a go 2 for me. Love her! ( ;
