An Available Man
by Hilma Wolitzer was a great read - written by a woman from the man's point of view - a recent widower. I think she got it right, but then, I'm a woman.
At any rate, really enjoyed this one, and will be seeking out any others by this novelist.
Currently reading "Heartstopper" by Joy Fielding - set in southern Florida in a town on the Tamiami Trail. A serial killer thriller. Pretty good so far. Not a new book (2007), but one of hers I had missed.
I tend to find a new author I like, read all or most of their books and then move on to another, forgetting that they may still be writing new ones. It's like meeting up with an old friend.
