The Widower's Tale by Julia Glass

I adored Three Junes. But I'd heard that some of Julia Glass's other books did not live up to the wonder of Three Junes, so I stayed clear. However, I'd recently heard that The Widower's Tale was a great read, so I gave it a go. And I completely agree. The characters are just wonderful.... Percy, of course, being my favorite. The story develops by seeing the action through different characters which is a technique I really like. It allows the reader to really know the characters. I highly recommend The Widower's Tale. - June

I "ditto" June's observations and also recommend this book. Endearing comes to mind as I recall it, but that word is too smaltzy for the power of this book.
