The Wideness of the Sea

By chance I had just finished The Way Life Should Be by Christina Baker Cline when I picked up The Wideness of the Sea by Katie Curtis. The novels are similar in that both women retreat to Maine from NYC hoping to find a resolution to all that troubles them. The stories do differ but in both these women are questioning themselves and the choices they made early in their adult lives. The Wideness of the Sea is more probing and complex and I could feel the struggles that the main character was going through. Of course, also a love story and very sweet. I liked it a lot.
