There is satisfaction on the publication of a book, a joy of getting a story out into the world and family and friends celebrating with you, but a thrill in reading a good review. Somebody, you don’t know reads and loves your book. For me, it is the most sincere form of flattery. I would like to share with you one of our recent books The Caretaker by Carol Schoenig.
The Review:
The Caretaker by Carol Schoenig tells the story of Phae as she tries to make her own life after an abusive marriage and many years as a single-parent. She decides to go to Spain to work as a caretaker for an estate. There, she meets Finn and the two start a romance.
This book is much more than a simple, straight-forward romance story. Phae is older than your typical love-interest (aged 64). Both she and Finn have loved and lost before (he is also a widower). Their love is complicated by family matters. Schoenig goes against the old trope of parental interference and instead it is Phae’s children who try to stand between her and Finn.
As the romance unfolds, there are some elements that may not always seem entirely plausible, but these do set up a modern, fantasy love story. At times, the characters seem to act in inconsistent ways, but this seems to be explained as their histories are revealed over the course of the book.
