  • "Kristin Hannah bleibt ihrem Thema aus "Insel des Lichts" (BA 4/03) treu. Auch in ihrem neuen Buch geht es um eine Frau mittleren Alters, die ihrem Leben eine neue Richtung gibt. Elizabeth Shore hat in der Ehe mit dem Sportreporter Jack eigene Ziele immer hinter die Bedürfnisse ihrer Familie gestellt. Nun besuchen die Töchter das College, Elizabeth lebt in ihrem Traumhaus am Meer und die Ehe ist zur Routine geworden. Als Jack erneut der Karriere wegen umzieht, entscheidet Elizabeth zum 1. Mal in ihrem Leben gegen die Interessen der Familie. Sie trennt sich von ihrem Mann und beginnt wieder mit dem Malen. Nun wäre es nicht Kristin Hannah, wenn am Ende Elizabeth und Jack nicht wieder zueinander finden würden. Erneut ein typisch amerikanischer Unterhaltungsroman, etwas realitätsfern und handlungsarm, aber mit großer Empathie für die Hauptperson. Leserinnen im entsprechenden Alter werden auf der Suche nach Entspannungslektüre gerne zu diesem Roman greifen. Wie die früheren Romane für alle Bibliotheken empfohlen."
