Unexpected visitors, family problems and illness force both of them to face the truth and ask if there is any future for them.

I’m not sure whether I really liked Samuel, but Anna was sweet and tender; the type of woman I’d want to have as a friend and neighbor. At first I thought the story would be too introspective but as I read on I found it pulled me in until I wanted to find out what would happen next. The scenery surroundomg the main characters was vivid. I could see the view from the cabin deck, the lodge on the top of the mountain and the cemetery. The author has a way with words that brings the story to life.

This is a lovely soft romance with no highs or lows, but it does have an element of doubt. How can a woman who believes she’s from the past cope with modern day equipment and morals? What can Samuel offer to any woman when he buries himself in the bottle instead of facing his fears?

There’s no “daring do” in this book. To me the ideal time and place to read it would be curled up beside the fire on a winter’s evening so I could relax into the moment and enjoy a cosy love story.
