Decades ago, a shotgun wedding locked Edith into a life with a husband she’s not sure she ever loved. Now, at a ‘certain age,’ she feels like a ghost in her own life, wondering where all this came from: the scornful husband, the mercenary brood of grandchildren, the well-meaning but controlling daughter-in-law. Then one Christmas morning Edith wakes to find her husband dead, and the role she … played for so long crumbling.
Soon questions arise about her husband’s death, and papers discovered in his pockets send Edith unraveling secrets of the man she thought she knew. Edith’s son Brian is the focus of her life, but he may not be as perfect as she thought. Revelations that he might be cheating shock her. As Edith investigates the mysteries of her family, she may just find who she truly is.

This was an interesting book. Written from an older woman’s perspective, about a period in life rarely seen in books. Good job in dealing with the main character’s emotions and entanglements.
Book was ok but I wouldn’t read it again.
Not would recommend if you are feeling down it was a tragic and sad story and it also was haunting I did not enjoy this read but it was well written but not a happy story.
