Body Surfing, by Anita Shreve (2007)
I was already a big fan of Anita Shreve's book, having devoured Fortune's Rock, The Pilot's Wife, A Wedding in December, and others.
This book kept me up until the wee hours as I did not want to put it down. The story revolves around a young woman, Sydney, who seeks out a quiet tutoring position in New Hampshire. Followed the turmoil of being a divorcee and a widow, the last thing she is looking for is romance.
However, her plans for rectitude are disrupted when she meets the two adults sons of the family who both fall in love with her and draw her deeper and deeper into their family. The portrayal of all the members of the family are rich with detail and the plot line has enough twists to make this a terrific read.
