A woman rediscovers meaning in life - a rich and deeply satisfying
novel by the bestselling author of The Art of Mending and Open
House. When Betta Nolan's husband dies, she honours a promise she
made to him to move to a small town and start a new life. Without
minimizing her great sorrow, she nevertheless attempts to find
pleasure on a daily basis. The Year of Pleasures is about
deliberately acknowledging the solace found in ordinary things: a
warm bath, good food, the beauty of nature, music, art found in
museums and in gardens. Above all, it is about the various
kindnesses people can and do offer one another. Betta's journey
from grief to joy is an inspiring reminder of what is available to
us all, regardless of our life circumstances. It suggests that no
matter who we lose, life can still give bountifully to those who
will receive.
