I admit--I didn't think I'd like/relate: 60-year-old Rebecca, formerly an in-demand photographer is now wondering if she is a has-been. She goes to the country, meets new people and thinks about life. It did start slowly, but picked up a quarter of the way in, and became a quick, enjoyable story with a few profound, deep moments. There are a lot of great moments in here where the writing shines, there are tender moments; and what I thought would be a depressing story was pretty fun and hopeful. 
 note: I listened to the second half of the book. The narrator, Carrington Macduffie was great. I would recommend the audio.
