"Husband unexpectedly leave wife of many years; shell-shocked, devastated wife ultimately recovers and forges a new and interesting life for herself." I have read approximately 1.2 million novels that have this same basic theme; and I seem to be incapable of growing tired of it. I am pretty sure my husband will not leave me, but maybe this type of novel is sort of a disaster-preparedness exercise? "Woman Last Seen..." is not in any way a unique or remarkable example of the genre, but I enjoyed it. I really liked the main character, Maggie; and the story zipped along nicely with several changes of scene including a solo trip to Rome that was meant to be an anniversary trip for her and her husband. The ending was satisfying. But I always wonder: sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
After her husband walks out on her, Maggie Harris realizes that she's spent her life caring for others, and begins to question what she wants out of life. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Every mother and wife will likely relate in some way to Maggie Harris. We all give part of ourselves to those we love, making their life the focus of ours.
Maggie's got an empty nest and a long-term marriage that she's assumed will last until "death do us part". Not so, according to her husband who shocks her with news he is not happy in their marriage and is out the door.
Maggie's lost. The foundation of her happiness has always been her family, and now that foundation is on shaky ground. She doesn't see a way to be happy on her own. She's forgotten how to be the woman she was decades ago.
But she is stronger than she thinks. The story leads us down many paths Maggie tests. Some work for her, some do not, and somewhere along the way she remembers how to live to make herself happy.
I like the author's sense of humor in the writing, and she doesn't take the easy way out with her characters. She puts Maggie through the ringer--and it makes Maggie a stronger woman along the way.
