I picked up this book in Windsor Ontario a few years ago

and just sat down to read it in recent weeks. It is clear that Jill Tweedie was an extremely gifted writer; her use of language is like reading poetry. I was disappointed, however, to find that her world view and relationship choices were so entirely predictable...and self-destructive. For someone so insightful about so many things, it was sad to recognize the same old story played out in yet another woman's life. I also found it strangely ironic that the one thing Jill's father passed down to her after all was said and done was the same illness that killed him. Which is even more heartbreaking.I sincerely hope the second half of her life was as good as her most recent husband claims it was. We readers won't know because she never finished the book. I also hope she found the inner peace and forgiveness that so obviously eluded her during her younger years. If not, then this would, IMHO, represent the greatest tragedy of all.
