I've been waiting for Vic's story and I wasn't disappointed.
After twelve years of marriage, his wife Mona has grown resentful of his long
hours as Chief of Surgery and the fact that he's basically missing-in-action on
both marital and parental fronts.
Vic finds it difficult to understand that
Mona needs more than the generous trappings his paycheck provides, and that's how
the discord in their marriage escalates. When Mona rebels, Vic does the
unthinkable to try and save his marriage.
In Mona and Victor's story, I was able root for both of them
because they are both likeable people. At times, I thought Vic was clueless,
but that's the mark of a nicely-drawn character. The book explores – among other
themes - the need inside each of us to have something to call our own,
something we excel at, and it's that something Mona reaches for when things
turn difficult.
It was good seeing the members of the Stafford family again
and I look forward to Nick's romance.
