Libby Buck
"I suppose you could resist this lovely debut novel, but why on earth would you want to? Buck gives us a story of a woman starting her life over in an austerely beautiful village on the coast of Maine where she was once a summer person. It's a carefully- wrought portrait of a house, an intense year in a life, and of a small but complicated community that somehow, for all its layers and conflicts, comes with the magical warmth of Louise Penny's Three Pines. What a pleasure."
