Editorial : From Library Journal Readers who thought The Bridges of Madison County was a romantic book should try this story of honest and enduring love from the author of Talk Before Sleep (LJ 3/15/94). The first-person narrative describes an ordinary woman caught up in unusual circumstances. Lainey is a wife/mother/office worker whose life is suddenly changed when her husband is sent into a coma by a freak accident. The only one who believes that he will one day wake up, she visits him daily, bringing him stimulus from everyday life in an attempt to reach him. "I line up the little spice bags all across his chest. All across his University of California T-shirt are requests from the kitchen. Come back, says the curry, the oregano. And me." Lainey is sustained through her ordeal by the support of two special women: Alice, who lives next door, and Evie, the ghost of the woman who lived in Lainey's house in the Forties. A touching and enjoyable read, this novel is romantic without being a romance.
In this exquisite, emotionally rich novel, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Berg offers a deeply satisfying story about the bonds of love and the balm of friendship. A young man named Jay lies in a coma after suffering a freak accident, and his wife, Lainey, is the only one who believes he will recover. She sits at his bedside, bringing him reminders of the ordinary life they shared: fragrant flowers, his children’s drawings, his own softly textured shirt. When Lainey’s faith in his recovery falters, she is sustained by two women, Alice and Evie, who teach her about the endurance of friendship—and the genuine power of hope. Filled with beautiful writing and truths about life, Range of Motion is hard to put down and impossible to forget.Look for special features inside.Join the Circle for author chats and more.RandomHouseReadersCircle
Jerry wasn't a good husband and certainly wasn't a good father but he provided for Mary and Jack. Dillon will do anything to break down the walls Charissa has
erected around herself. It has a charming, settling effect on the reader, opening the eyes, heart, and mind to the pleasures a natural landscape has available to those willing to surrender to its seductiveness.. This little work kept me interested to the end, even reading at the end of long work days as I was.
My most serious suggestion for improvement: PLEASE get an editor. Amazing!. Eaton's mercenary army was hesitant under the enemy's musket fire, and he realized a charge was the only way to regain the initiative. Even if most of the chapters could be read in 1 hour, each has an Exercise at the end that really should be completed if you are to learn the material. If you are looking for a condemnation of feminist readings of the Hebrew bible, this book ain't for you. It seems more geared to the younger child but
