The characters in this book will stick with me for life. Rarely do you find a story of marriage, so truthfully told. Though we can clearly see the main characters' faults, it makes us root for them to find healing in their relationship. Nora's frustrations in marriage are so relatable, as well as Jake's responses to her words and actions. I wish there were more stories on the market like this--stories for married couples who are going through issues they feel they can't voice to others. I felt this story portrayed both the husband and the wife in a very believable manner.The harsh realities of mistakes in marriage are wrapped tenderly with Doughty's lilting prose, and we know the author took time crafting this novel. Even as truths are laid bare, we see how love can cover a multitude of sins. This book should be a must-read for couples struggling with infidelity.
