Forgiveness

Forgiveness by Jennifer Allyn - mini spoiler - kinda 80's dated story about a woman who walks into her architect hubbies office and finds him in a compromising position. She walks out, he comes home says there have been several affairs and asks for a divorce. She is in shock, fairly numb and hurt and gives him one. The story opens three years or so later when the h has moved to a new town and buys a B&B as her new career. She is finally starting to process her fury and pain when the ex shows up and says he wants to start again. Being that he shows up with another woman, this doesn't go over well. The h has to work through and incredible amount of hurt and anger and then has to decide to continue with him or not. She also has another suitor and is attempting to make a go of her B&B. For sheer angry woman feeling and the expression of betrayal, the book is pretty good. In terms of the reconciliation, it was okay. They talk about their problems, but it was such a dated issue of career vs homemaker and fifties imaginary values vs eighties modern woman etc that it kinda made the story seem less relevant. They do get back together and I did believe the HEA and all in all it wasn't a bad read.
