While in line at the grocery store, a problem arises when the young woman ahead of him doesn't have enough money to pay for her groceries. He senses she has more problems than just being short of cash and he generously makes up the difference. Danielle offers no thanks, but this doesn't stop Eric from taking her home. Home turns out to be a primitive cabin in the woods and it doesn't belong to Danielle. Fearing she won't survive the upcoming storm, he does what he can to help her. The powerful storm comes to fruition and Eric unexpectedly finds himself stranded in the cabin with Danielle. Two strangers, both with secrets, enter into an intense and often bizarre relationship. Can they survive the storm and come to terms with what of themselves they reveal to each other? Reluctant at first, they both take emotional risks. Their dialogue is dramatic and provocative. I found this novel to be psychologically stimulating. The gifted author skillfully takes the reader on a journey into the minds of the characters. Highly recommended. I received this book for free through LibraryThing and I give this review of my own free will. ( ) SAMANTHA100 | Sep 8, 2015 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. The Remedy for Love was a book I touched and didn't let go until I finished. The author's writing (which is one of the most important things for me) was catching and enjoyable.The story was a good read, one you want to read in one sitting. I read it after a big reader's slump, so I can say it's a refreshing read. I was well written and had a compelling story. On one level you want to find out what happens to them in their dire situation. On another level, you need to know the woman's story. Why is she in this condition? What happened to her? I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( ) LiindaSnow97 | Jul 8, 2015 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:“A page-turner, a love story and a vivid drama of man (and woman) against the elements . . . A great read by a wonderful writer.” —Newsday When the “Storm of the Century” threatens western Maine, Eric closes his office early and heads to the grocery store. In line ahead of him, an unkempt and seemingly unstable young woman comes up short on cash, so Eric offers her twenty bucks and a ride home. Trouble is, Danielle doesn’t really have a home. She’s squatting in a cabin deep in the woods: no electricity, no plumbing, no heat. Eric, with problems of his own, tries to walk away, but finds he can’t. Fending off her mistrust of him, he gets her set up with food, water, and firewood, and departs with relief. But when he climbs back to the road, his car is gone, and in desperation he returns to the cabin. As the storm intensifies, these two lost souls are forced to wait it out together. Deeply moving, frequently funny, The Remedy for Love is a story about the secrets revealed when there is no time or space for anything but the truth. “A superbly grown-uplove story.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Brilliant . . . A tale that is as gripping as any Everest expedition—and that is also tender and terrifying and funny and, in the end, so true it seems inevitable.” —Peter Heller, author of The Dog Stars and The Painter “Roorbach . . . is at the top of his literary game here. He is masterful in inviting readers along, allowing them to slowly get to know these two strangers as they get to know one another.” —Portland (Maine) Press Herald “Snowbound in Maine, two strangers struggle to survive—fighting, flirting, baring secrets. Their sexy, snappy dialogue will keep you racing through.” —People “One of the best novels of this or any year . . . A flat-out funny, sexy, and poignant romantic thriller.” —David Abrams, author of Fobbit. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
