2 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
After her ex-husband dies in a plane crash, Martha Gaver is horrified to learn that the executor of Raymond's estate is Charlie, the conservative, insufferable lawyer who represented Raymond in their bitter divorce. Yet soon after they reenter each other's lives, Martha, Charlie, and their teenage children find they have more in common than they imagined as they struggle to rebuild their lives...and that opposites really do attract. Engaging,, witty, and entertaining, Domestic Pleasures is a touching, piercing tale of love lost, found, and embraced once again.

Domestic Pleasures is an absolute pleasure to read. Set in 1980‘s New York , with a wonderful cast of characters. It‘s about relationships and life, falling in and out of love , about bringing up teenagers in this NY setting.
I couldn‘t stop turning the pages. Such an enjoyable book. I‘m not a big romance reader , but I had tears for some of the touching moments in this story♥️♥️♥️

I‘m reading one of the Beth Gutcheon books I bought after reading Still Missing ( which I loved ) with #PersephoneClub. This one doesn‘t have that terrible dark theme, ( not yet , I don‘t think it will ) a softer story of people‘s lives , marriage, divorce, all the complications of love and loss. The writing I do remember ! She‘s a lovely graceful writer.

Tamra I won‘t soon forget Still Missing! 😳 6mo
Cathythoughts @Tamra I won‘t either ! It‘s good to be reading her again , she‘s gifted. 6mo
jlhammar Glad to hear you‘re enjoying this so far. I look forward to reading more of her work. 6mo

Suet624 I read this so many years ago that I can‘t remember a thing about it but I do remember thinking I wanted to search for more of her books. 6mo
Cathythoughts @Suet624 I‘m loving it. It‘s such a beautiful, ordinary read. I‘m not a romance reader. But this is more like Jane Austen ❤️ (edited) 6mo
rubyslippersreads You had me at Jane Austen! 6mo
