Sub-title: Thoughts of an unfinished woman
My sister recommended this as one of her favorites. The writing was lyrical and evocative of the sea and living in a small place solo. A fiftyish woman escapes to her bungalow on Cape Cod when her husband suggests they move across country for his job. She reviews her life, decides she's been too giving and then welcomes him back when he decides to retire, although researching after reading the book he eventually got into other things and she had huge success that gave her a whole new career. They are in their 50s, obviously financially very comfortable. First world problems. Thinking they have changed and will hold on to those changes after 50 apparently worked as she runs workshops on "getting finished". Not a favorite as it is overly romantic and simplistic.
