  Usually I hate books set in the south with characters that talk in accents but for some reason, this one didn't make me cranky as other ones have in the past. I think this book is very well written and also interesting. I didn't realize it was part of a series and haven't read the first one and may go back to see what I missed there. What I didn't like was how she was having problems with her husband for a year + and then overnight just made a decision that suddenly he was the guy she wanted and how grateful she was and how happy she was with him. It was really unbelievable. The same goes for how her husband seemed so insightful into her and her feelings, knowing when she was pretending to go through the motions with him in the spring. Men don't really know the difference with this kind of stuff. It seemed very unlikely. So overall this was a book I felt had great writing but character actions and feelings that were untrue.

  As a sequel to Big Stone Gap a gentle continuation of the ups and downs of the love between Ave Maria Mulligan and the man she has now been married to for eight years, Jack MacChesney. Ave has still not completely opened her heart to her husband but she needs to now or she is in danger of losing the best thing that ever happened to her. They have not been easy years for them or the local community. The death of their son seems to have come between them, instead of drawing them closer too each other. Ave Maria only realises her lack of full commitment to the marriage after a trip she and her daughter take to Italy. She returns to Big Stone Gap determined to put things right between her and her husband and learn to be more open and honest with him.
  Once again I found this rather slow but marginally more enjoyable as it was only in April that I read Big Stone Gap, so the cast of characters were still familiar to me.
  I will go on to read the final volume of the trilogy Milk Glass Moon soon while the story is still with me.
