Well, this was a dumb book. It says it is a number one bestseller, but I wonder where? I picked it up at a book exchange and thought it would be a mindless, light read and I guess I was right. The main character, Poppy, is relieved when her husband dies - she had fantasized about it for some time. But when he was hit on the head with a chunk of blue ice (frozen airplane waste) and dies as a result, she found that she mourned the loss of a father for her children, but not her husband. As the story unravels, it turns out he had been having a long time affair and was as unhappy as Poppy was in their relationship. However, he was finding love in the arms of the neighbor woman! Of course Poppy is rescued by the dashing new man that moved to town to save the local and loved crumbling country estate. And wouldn't you know, the dead husband hadn't got around to changing his will and Poppy inherited his vast fortune from the dot come boom. Naturally this was contested by the "other woman" but all ends well. I can't believe I read all 453 pages of this book! I do not recommend it. I am tempted not to return it to the book exchange to save anyone else from the wasting their time!
