"Cecilia Ross is looking for a change. She has decided to take time off from her job as a successful motivational speaker and sell her home. She moves in to a beautiful old house in St. Paul, Minnesota, complete with a big front porch, a wild garden, a chef's kitchen--and three roommates. The four women are different ages, but all are feeling restless, and want to take a roadtrip to find again the people and things they miss. One woman wants to connect with a daughter she gave away at birth; another wants to visit her long-absent ex-husband; a third woman, a professional chef, is seeking new inspiration from the restaurants along the way. And Cecilia is looking for Dennis Halsinger, the man she never got over, who recently sent her a postcard out of the blue. This novel is classic Elizabeth Berg--a portrait of how women grow through the relationships that define them, and a testament to the power of female friendship"--… (altro)

I won this book from the Goodreads First Reads giveaways. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've only read one other book quite a few years ago by this author. I remember that I liked the book but I have not picked up any of her other books to read in the interim. I loved loved loved this book. It focuses on Cecilia (Cece) and her life after she the death of her best friend. She makes some changes in her life and makes some new friends that she probably never would have met and goes on a road trip with them that resolves some issue in each of their lives. I absolutely recommend this book to others. It was enjoyable and I didn't want it to end. ( )

Some very good word pictures but a trite ending ( )

I enjoy Elizabeth Berg's books a lot but this one fell a little flat for me compared to others I've read. I particularly questioned how every person gave long winded answers for everything. Like entire histories with every explanation and it didn't feel authentic. ( )

I guess I thought I needed to finish this book because I requested it from the library, but I didn't really like it as well as the other two books by Elizabeth Berg, especially "The Year of Pleasures." I didn't like that Cece and the roommates were in to reading tarot cards and other occult and new age stuff. The plot was a bit thin, and I kept getting the characters mixed up. ( )

While I was interested to find out what happens to the women in the story, the writing was simply too saccharine for me to handle. I got about a third of the way in and couldn't go any further. ( )

The gift of how to read the omens and hear my fellow creatures, to see the place where future lives and sing Great Mystery's songs is what I want to share.  It comes from my heart and it is good.  --Jamie Sams, Hancoka Olowanpi
