Lynne Golodner has given us another wonderfully complex book that takes us deep inside a character's life. I highly recommend it.
Quickie Review: I Love You, Charlie Tanner by Lynne Golodner
Being a widow and all, I tend to avoid books about widows. Often they are just wrong...or they are too close to home. I Love You, Charlie Tanner was neither. And I love Charlie Tanner, too. Charlie and James may not have been married, but they were life partners. The interweaving of their past and present is skillfully directed and readily illuminates Charlie's challenges.
