"I liked the voice in the diary of newly divorced Candida Wilton, who had been wife to a headmasternow married to a wealthy younger woman. Wilton is angry, depressed, and honestly trying to make a life for herself. She makes friends, spearheads a trip for seven women to the land of Virgil with her favorite scholar along. The travel group make up the seven sisters. She makes every effort to be honest with herself, surprising the reader as she reconnects with her daughters and old friends. The story sounds trite, but told in the voice of her diary it intrigues."
"Recently divorced and estranged from her three daughters, Candida Wilton and has downsized her life to a modest flat in a run-down section of London. She keeps a diary of sorts on her computer, and from this we follow her thoughts as she honestly assesses her life and relationships. She at first seems incredibly lonely, but gradually builds a network of friends. An unexpected financial windfall opens her world in ways she never anticipated, and yet, was it all a dream?
Beautifully and painfully written, this book is to be savored, not devoured."
"Not thrilled with this. A little too depressing for me. I don't need depressing right now. I have another of her books in the queue at the NB library. I think I need a break from this kind of stuff now. What was I thinking? She's A.S. Byatt's sister."
