Strongly based on Groundhog Day   , but different in enough ways to be fresh. Woman working in publishing, with husband and 2 children, is allowing work and other commitments to overshadow the important things. The repeat days are punctuated with yearly anniversary letters from the past, written by her husband. From these you gradually learn about their history, and eventually what else is really happening.  The ending was a bit of a cop-out, probably not wanting to alienate the readers who want the standard ending every time. Very clever, believable characters, really enjoyed it.
