Welcome to Memory Lane Monday!
This is a feature of unforgettable books I have read in times past which have not had the chance to be reviewed on this blog as I read them a long time ago. Lets’ call them my personal classics. I will be featuring several of my favorites and I hope you will be interested to read and enjoy some as I have.
This week’s pick is…
This is yet another unforgettable book written by the best selling author with characters that have stayed in my mind for over 25 years. This book was also adapted into a movie and I believe this contributed to making this story memorable. As with many of the author’s books, this was a tear jerker however, it stands as one of her best books.
Did anyone read this book way back when?
Synopsis:
Smart, likable Bernie Fine was the wonder boy of Wolff’s, New York’s most glamorous department store. A senior VP on the way up, he arrives in San Francisco to open a West Coast store. His career is skyrocketing, but his life lacks a center. When he looks into the wide, innocent eyes of five-year-old Jane O’Reilly, and then into the equally enchanting eyes of her mother, Liz, Bernie knows he has found what he has been looking for.
Bernie thought he had found love to last a lifetime, but when Liz is stricken with cancer, time becomes painfully short. Alone with two children, Bernie must face the loss and learn that life has other fine things to offer.
