This is one of Greene's earliest works, originally published under pseudonym Jeanne Grant. Lacks a little polish, but contains all the Greene elements we love.The leads are likeable, their professions different enough to add flavor, and the two disparate settings interesting. I like that the heroine's fertility issue wasn't one that would magically reverse itself with true love, as happens in so many romances. Although their speech patterns didn't ring true for me, the behaviour of the four year old twins did. They would be acting out in bewilderment and grief one moment, and distracted and having fun the next. I found it age appropriate. And they got all the best lines in the book. (The scene in the bathtub of one boy dissing the other was a favorite). What was supposed to be the usual Category Conflict Climax in the story was created solely by female angst - a plot point I despise - but was resolved almost immediately.Good, quick read.
