Disappointed fan of Rosellen Brown
25 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
I bought this book and eagerly awaited its arrival having loved Civil Wars and Before and After. This book has an anticipatory depressing premise: a spouse accidentally injures his spouse catastropically. The accident has already occured when the book opens and the family is leaving New York City for the tranquility of their small town, one year after the accident and one year after extensive rehab. This book never has an uplifting moment. Sure, the guilt Dan experiences and the anger of his wife over the accident is expected. But where is the reconciliation? The two kids seem like they are on the periphery throughout the book and despite her injuries, the mother never reaches out to her children. I read this book through hoping it would get better. The Wellseley wife lives this injury solely intellectually. The distance between the husband and wife is palpable yet never breached. I was very disappointed in this book, regretfully so, because I usually adore Ms. Brown's books. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this one.

How Much Guilt is Needed to Destroy a Good Marriage?
17 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a tragic novel dealing with the aftermath of an accident that leaves a woman
paralyzed. How much does it take to destroy a good marriage?
The husband inadvertently turns his wife into a quadraplegic by making messing
around with a boat that he really can't operate. His guilt and her bitterness are the
baggage that is ever present in their marriage.
This book is depressing and tragic but very well-written.
