by Anita Shreve
Mary arrives in a small Maine town with her baby daughter and a past she doesn't discuss with anyone. Fleeing her abusive reporter husband in New York City, Mary - formerly Maureen English - tries to settle in and make a safe life for them. Her affair with an older lobsterman brings her happiness she had never experienced. But when she is betrayed by another, and Mary's husband finds her, Mary must make a decision that will forever change her life.
This story originally starts as a reporter brings her noted to Mary's now college-age daughter regarding her mother's story. The story is unfolds by way of interviews and letters written by Mary and the Maine townspeople. While maybe predictable in it's climax, Mary's story is nonetheless engaging. I kept reading to find out who betrayed Mary.
This was a paperback I picked up at a book sale.
