This Place of Wonder by Barbara O'Neal

 


A lovely, lovely book with the sadness and grief artfully written and characters that display so many deep emotions.

Four women struggle with the sudden death of an ex-spouse, father, lover. Meadow has loved Augustus since they first met. Theirs was a deep but faulty love born out of their love for creating food from his mastery and her garden. Rory is Meadow’s daughter raised by Augustus. Their relationship was close and carefree. Maya is his daughter and their relationship was fraught with mistakes and on her side, anger. Norah was his last girlfriend reliant upon him for the touch of humans and deep devotion. All four women are deeply affected by his death. This is the story of their recovery.
