Sometimes a family resemblance is hard to see...especially if you're not looking for one. And Sabine Knoll isn't. She's the widow of Victor Knoll and the mother of his three children. She loved him -- deeply -- and even though he's been gone four years, she can't imagine loving anyone else. Then a man named Joe appears in her small town of Oro, Colorado. Joe Knoll. Victor's brother. Except that Victor never told her he had a brother. And if he'd lied about that, had he lied about other things, too? Sabine isn't sure she wants to know. She is sure she doesn't want to fall in love with this man who resembles her husband in some ways, yet not in others. The man who's becoming a part of her children's lives -- and of hers.… (altro)

I honestly don't know why I finished this book, other than I hate to leave a book unfinished.

I find stories where widows' take up with their brothers-in-law a bit uncomfortable, but I wanted to give this one a chance. But it just didn't hang together. Sabine felt that she could never love again and was still grieving 4 years after Victor died - not that there's anything wrong with that. But within a few days, possibly a week she sleeps with Joe. She's constantly hankering for time away from her children to the extent that I started to agree with the gossipy baby-sitter.

I couldn't connect or sympathise with any of the characters. Sabine came across as cold and self-involved. Joe was enigmatic and bitter.

The story itself was repetitive, with the characters thinking the same thoughts over and over again. And if you're not interested in mountaineering you'll find that you're skipping a lot of the prose. ( )
