I really enjoyed this book. Why? Well probably because I am in my 60's with a love from the 1960's that I will never forget. When this book begins Lawrence and Hermia are in their 60's. They are both alone on a cruise. And it is there that they reconnect for the first time since college. The story moves around a lot. Part of it recounts their romance in college. There are also the stories of what was going on all of these years they were apart - the marriages and the children.
It is not a simplistic story of old flames reuniting. There was a lot of baggage they were each carrying. It wasn't easy to decide to reunite. The end of the book was rather depressing - but any happy ending wouldn't have seemed right. I liked the characters in the story and I felt that they were believable. It is not a fast read but for me it was worth it!
