Jane is Back!
Jane Green is one of my favorite
authors. I have sat at her feet and learned a great deal about
writing. Her latest novel Falling has some truth from her real
life. She shared the story with us as I attended her tour stop at Fox
Tale Book Shoppe.
Synopsis:
Emma is ready to start over. She has
given up her career as a banker to move to Westport Connecticut. Her good
friend Sophie lives there with her family. So she starts to look for
housing and finds a nice cottage on the beach. Her landlord is her next
door neighbor Dominic. He is also handy to a certain extent. Emma
finds her next calling as an interior designer. So as Dominic and Emma’s
relationship grows will there be a future?
I very much enjoyed this story. I
will agree with what others have said that this is “classic Jane Green” at her
best. All fiction has some basis in reality. I feel that her agent
was right that now is the perfect time to tell this story. What was most
meaningful for me is identifying
with the character of Emma. I am single and in my late 30s. I did
not try some of her experiences such as Tinder box. I have
experienced others. So I could completely understand her feelings when
she met Dominic.
The story also featured some home
décor. I find this interesting to read about because you want to find out
to know the end results.
The story is set in Westport
Connecticut. The author has characters that you can identify with and
want to see succeed in the end. I was a little disappointed with the
ending. I am ready for Jane’s cookbook that will be coming out very
soon.
