Distant Shores
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Hannah examines whether love and commitment are enough to sustain a marriage when two people who have put their individual dreams on ice get a chance to defrost them . . . in fast-moving prose punctuated by snappy asides.”—People
Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters, and weathered the storms of youth as they built a family. From a distance, their lives look picture perfect. But after the girls leave home, Jack and Elizabeth quietly drift apart. When Jack accepts a wonderful new job, Elizabeth puts her own needs aside to follow him across the country.
Then tragedy turns Elizabeth’s world upside down. In the aftermath, she questions everything about her life—her choices, her marriage, even her long-forgotten dreams. In a daring move that shocks her husband, friends, and daughters, she lets go of the woman she has become—and reaches out for the woman she wants to be.

Story line was good…Easy reading….Feel good ending

Why does the reader sound so angry all of the time?!

The female protagonist was weak. I had much higher hopes for a strong ending. Left me empty.

Awful. Truly depressingly, boringly, awful. This is the author of The Great Alone and Nightingale? Impossible!

I could not believe this was written by the same author as “The Nightingale.” The woe-is-me wife and mother with emotionally fragile daughters whines throughout about her dreams. Every one of her experiences has meaning about her life. She separates from her cheating husband and finds herself, and later they realize their love is too strong to survive without each other. Trite and boring.
