March has been gone from her small New England hometown for 18
years, but has returned with her 15-year old daughter, Gwen, for
her housekeeper's (the woman who raised her) funeral. Her husband
has stayed in California, and March is flooded with memories, in
particular of her first love, Hollis, who is once again living in
town. Too easily, March is drawn back to Hollis; meanwhile, Gwen is
surprised to find that she likes it here.
I have a hard time liking a book when I hate the main characters.
As an adult, anyway, Hollis is an a$$ and March is just stupid. I
really liked Gwen, though, and the story was pretty good. I just
couldn't rate it higher due to how much I hated Hollis and March.
