This was a free book on Kindle, but it was far better than most of the freebies.  It is the story of four women who form a relationship based on the premise that they are all widows.  I say premise because all is not as it might seem.  The women are very different but the bond of widowhood helps them to form friendships that are supportive and strengthening.  All  of the husband's deaths have a slight mystery to them and the author does a great job of unraveling these mysteries while staying with the story of each one rebuilding their lives.  This book helped me to better understand the plight of some my own friends who have been widowed.  Some of the "issues" the author explores concerning widowhood had never entered my mind.  I am an avid reader so I usually limit myself to a certain amount of time each day, but I had simply could not put this book down.  I read it all in one setting - it is an easy read.  Unfortunately, I cannot find another book on Kindle by Helen MacArthur.  I will keep waiting and hoping because this author is very good.
