Widow Woman Book Review
1962 helped kick off a decade of tremendous change.
President Kennedy bans all trade with Cuba. Jackie Robinson became the first
African American elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Beatles recorded
their first song together, and Illinois became the first U.S. state to
decriminalize homosexual acts between consenting adults.
For Audrey Randolph, a young Midwestern wife and the main character in Widow Woman, by Minnesota author Julia Tagliere, 1962 also brought personal tragedy: her mother died suddenly, leaving behind a lifetime of letters, photos and unimaginable secrets. Audrey, stunned by her mother’s death and the subsequent revelations of past loves and lovers, can no longer trust the reality she has always known. She must come to terms with dual losses, both her mother's death, as well as the unanswered, nagging question: Was anything she knew real?

My Review
I received
a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Audrey Randolph seemed to have a perfect a
perfect life, but 1962 has been riddled with tragedy. Her mother passes away and leaves her with
secrets and revelations Aubrey is too stunned to face. Will she finally be able to accept these
revelations about her mother?
This was a
great book on acceptance and forgiveness.
The characters really came to life in this tearjerker. Aubrey felt so betrayed by her parents for
keeping their secret for a very long time, but now her mom has died and with
the help of those around her to come terms with who her mother was. I loved this book, it’s definitely a rainy
day read and a great one at that!
