Even the minor characters will move you.
I first became acquainted with Helena Fairfax through her blog, which is one of the most consistently intelligent and interesting sites I have found on the internet. Based on her writing there, I just had to read one of her romance novels, something I rarely do. After all, who can resist Helenaâs reasons for writing romances, which include her optimistic view of humanity? All that said, I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed "A Way From Heart to Heart". Helenaâs characters are as intelligent as she is, and you soon are rooting for Kate Hemingway, who has lost her photographer husband Stuart to a bomb in Afghanistan. Kate has been left with a young son and memories of the man who pulled her out of a tumultuous existence by recognizing both her outer and inner beauty. The title phrase, âa way from heart to heartâ is from an Afghani saying, which recurs throughout the book as an ongoing motif. Stuartâs best friend, Paul, has maintained a relationship with Kateâs son, but has maintained an aloof reserve that makes Kate believe he does not think highly of her, partly because she has misgivings about herself and the life she had before Stuart discovered her. The novel is the story of the struggle of a man and a woman, linked by the chance circumstance of knowing Stuart, whose death has left a void in both lives. There is no easy answer here. Helena creates real people with real problems and real continuing struggles to do what is right for themselves and those they love. All this is set against the background of London and the Yorkshire moors, which are beautifully described. Even the minor characters will move you. What else could you ask for? Read and enjoy!
Good story - need the tissues though
This author is new to me and an absolute pleasure to read. This book was complex and the h had some real issues. I was reaching for the tissues on quite a few occasions. The H is the h's late husbands best friend but he and the h have always had an awkward relationship. Three years after the h is widowed, the H and her begin to connect and discover there is something between them but the path to true love doesn't run smoothly. The biggest drawcard about this author's writing is the development of the relationships. I also like that the bedroom scenes are behind closed doors.
A Way from Heart to Heart touched mine.
A Way from Heart to Heart touched mine. Kate lost her photographer husband to a bomb in Afghanistan, and has great difficulty adjusting to widowhood, and focuses totally on her young son, oblivious to her husband's best friend who has loved her for years. Finding a way from heart to heart is a long struggle for Kate, one she agonizes over.
