A merry widow's young lover wants to marry her--but she sees several reasons, including her past and their ages, why it is not a good idea. But he is sure that it is. But she is sure that it is not. What a stalemate. Then her family situation leads her to make a choice that leads to heartbreak and tragedy. This was better than I expected, although I though one of the choices she made was kind of stupid. There's an elderly woman character in this book who is worth the price of admission.
