An interesting story about a woman living life after her husband cheats on her then divorces her. Liz makes some questionable choices based in anger?hurt? even though the divorce happened years prior. I liked the ending when Liz was finally able to start moving on and making amends for some of her behavior. ( ) Even worstelen door het begin, twijfelen.. maar dan krijgt het boek je in zijn greep. Liz, een journalist in Washington DC, bouwt haar leven terug op na een scheiding in Seattle. Ze heeft een goeie band met zoon Peter (vgl Telemachus en Penelope), er zijn mannen in haar onafhankelijke leven en ze is editor van Her Turn, een dagelijkse krantencolumn gebaseerd op lezersinzendingen over hun leven: romantische spanningen, wraak, akkefietjes. Op een dag ontvangt ze een inzending voor haar column die ze niet kan negeren... geschreven door de huidige echtgenote van haar man. Zo begint een correspondentie, Liz stapt buiten het professionele en raakt meer en meer betrokken. Ze plaatst ook eigenwijs artikels die de brave Amerikaan choqueren. En blijft in de knoop liggen met huidige en oude relaties. Het boek gaat over trouw en de kunst van het vergeven, over de verwevenheid met het verleden, het loslaten van ergernissen. Iets aparts voor liefhebbers. Minder toegankelijk dan het onvolprezen Sofie & Cecilia. I did not give this book only 1 star because I managed to finish it. The first third of the book was ok -we learned about Liz and some of her past. Mind you, this book is written in the first person, so we never really get another person's take on her life. Unfortunately, Liz starts showing her true colors toward the end of the first third. It's not pretty. The second third is even worse as Liz really starts showing her true colors. She is cruel, selfish, manipulative, a user, and can't seem to let things go. By the last third, I was ready to find her and beat some sense into her. This woman did NOT deserve a HEA. I'm sorry, but this just wasn't the book for me-if I wanted political views, I would read a book about politics. If I wanted to know just how little the over 60 crowd is thought of, I would find a book that disparages those of some maturity. And please keep in mind, especially authors -when you make fun of those over 60...you are making fun of those who invested in Amazon, Apple, etc when those companies were just starting out---think about that for a moment. *ARC supplied by the publisher, author, and NetGalley nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A delightful debut novel in the vein of Younger and The Unbreakables, with a hint of Nora Ephron, about a journalist who stumbles into an unusual relationship with the woman married to her former husband. A journalist in Washington, DC, Liz has turned lemons into lemonade after her husband walked out on her a decade ago. She likes her life--she's the editor of Her Turn, a weekly column in which readers write about their lives, has a few romantic nibbles--some better than others--a good relationship with her teen-aged son, and has come to terms with the shock and heartbreak of her divorce. Or so she thinks. One day at work, she receives a letter for the column she can't ignore, because it's written by her ex-husband's current wife--AKA the other woman. It is the beginning of an unexpected correspondence between the two women--but only Liz knows the truth about their connection. Could it be she still cares? How far will she take this unusual relationship? And what happens if the truth comes out? Her Turn is an immensely readable, joyful novel about fidelity and forgiveness that explores one woman's second act in life, and the ties that still bind her to the first.
