Fay McLeod and Tom Avery are likable souls: kind to their parents, close to friends and co-workers, dedicated to their professions (she's a folklorist, he's a radio talk show host). But thus far both have been unlucky in love. Fay has never married; Tom has married and divorced rather too often. Participating on the periphery of lives of married friends has begun to pall. They finally meet, and it is a coup de foudre for both, but Fay is leaving that night for a month of mermaid research in Europe. Even when she returns, their affair is jeopardized by upheavals in others' lives.

What a great book, I really enjoy Carol Shield's writing style -so vivid, so poetic, so refreshing!
I loved the way you know from the start that Tom and Fay are going to get together but you don't know when and you wait with bated breath for them to meet.

Released 20 yrs ago (3/22/2005 UTC) at Filadelphio's Restaurant, North Road, Gardens in Dunedin, Otago New Zealand

Picked this up from the communal pile on the table. Some great books, but a lot of them disappeared. This one disappeared into my tote bag before I disappeared off to Christchurch where it was the last day of cricket and the first day of football.

Picked up from the table at the NZBC Convention welcome. I've been meaning to try Carol Shields for ages, so now's my chance.
