Margo has been married for ten years when she finally gets enough of her husband's emotional abuse. He blows up at her one time too many and, without making any plans, she simply walks away at a rest stop in France. From there Margo learns how to make her way in the world and discovers what she really wants out of life. Over a period of months she grows as a person and learns she can survive even when she's removed from her former life of privilege.The setting and the customs of France were really interesting to me since I've never been there. The characters were well-drawn and all of them, including Margo, had their flaws as well as their good points.Although there were no real surprises in the plot, the solid writing and the characters drew me in and I stayed up late finishing the book, which came to a satisfying conclusion. Ms. O'Leary is a talented writer, and I look forward to reading more of her books.
