Off Season by Anne Rivers Siddons
For as long as she can remember, they were Cam and Lilly - happily married, totally in love with each other, parents of a beautiful family and partners in life. Then, after decades of marriage, it ended as every great love story does...in loss. After Cam's death, Lilly takes a lone road trip to her and Cam's favourite spot on the remote coast of Maine, the place where they fell in love, where their ghosts still dance. There, she looks hard to her past - to a first love that ended in tragedy; to falling in love with Cam; to a marriage filled with exuberance, sheer life and safety - to try to figure out her future. It is a journey begun with tender memories and culminating in a revelation that will make Lilly re-evaluate everything she thought was true about her husband and her marriage.
'Anne Rivers Siddons's body of work is one of the most impressive in contemporary fictionAnd, in her beautifully crafted and dazzling new novel OFF SEASON, Ms. Siddons delivers the goods more powerfully than ever. All her books are terriffic, but this one is the best yet - Pat Conroy 'I've always enjoyed Anne Rivers Siddon's books, but this is her best, maybe the book she was born to write. It's a double love story, narrated by a woman who has loved both early and late. The story of Lilly and Jon is one of the best stories of adolescent love - its fierceness and sweetness - that I've ever read. There's also a beautifully drawn picture of Maine dressed in her summer finery...and a few ghosts. Summer is maybe the best time to read this book; if you've ever vacationed on the Maine coast (or ever wanted to), this book isn't just the next best thing, it's the real thing. Bravura storytelling' - Stephen King
