Description
Zoe Finney’s wealthy in-laws think she’s crazy, leaving her expensive wedding-present Manhattan apartment for a house in Brooklyn. But it’s supposed to be a fresh start. If Zoe can’t have a simple, ordinary marriage, at least she can have a house that is truly her own, a place to wait until something changes. Zoe’s six-year-old daughter, Rose, isn’t content with simply waiting until something changes. She doesn’t see much point to a father who lies in bed all day and doesn’t talk to her. She cannot remember ever being touched by him. Rose wants a proper father, and Keevan, their new next-door neighbour, seems to fit the bill very nicely. Keevan’s a part of the old Brooklyn, pre video stores, muffin shops and sun-dried tomatoes. He wants to be a father to Rose as much as she needs him. But Zoe is married to Jamie, and she is convinced that one day he’s going to be himself again. Nothing is going to make her forget how much she loves him … Paperback. In very good preloved condition. 422 pages
