Review
An interesting story about a historic ford that is about to be closed to the public. Fort Gifford has been the most important thing in Mauve's life. She volunteers there and spends most of her time talking about the place. When a new volunteer appears during the holiday season, she finds herself feeling attracted to him. But she has a boyfriend, Hiram. He doesn't share her love for history but he has been there for her for as long as she can remember. Will this new development make her question her relationship with Hiram?
It's a very well written story. Not very romantic though. It's mostly about saving Ford Gifford but there are some sweet scenes that make it a fun read. I enjoyed the story, especially the lazy tone in which it's told. Everything unfolds slowly and beautifully. I'd recommend this book to everyone who enjoys good contemporary fiction.
