Description
A Widow for One Year is a story of a family marked by tragedy. Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character, a difficult woman. By no means is she conventionally nice, but she will never be forgotten.
Ruth’s story is told in three parts, each focusing on a critical time in her life. When we first meet heron Long Island, in the summer of 1958 Ruth is only four.
The second window into Ruth’s life opens on the fall of 1990, when she is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgment in men, for good reason.
A Widow for One Year closes in the autumn of 1995, when Ruth Cole is a forty-one-year-old widow and mother. Shes about to fall in love for the first time.
Richly comic, as well as deeply disturbing, A Widow for One Year is a multilayered love story of astonishing emotional force.
