In a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale, author Jo Barney provides her readers with another fantastic book, Never Too Late. Follow the story of Edith, a woman in her sixties who finds herself in a melancholy time of life. Never coming first, always putting others before herself, she's lived a life that many women would find familiar. But Edith puts up with it, never complaining, for the good of her family. When her husband passes away at Christmas, and she finds some papers in his pockets, she realizes that many of the things she held to be true are not. And when she finds out that her beloved son, Brian, might be an adulterer, her life view crumbles a little more. As she continues to investigate the truth of her family, she might just find out who she is as well.
I so enjoyed Never Too Late. It was an incredibly well-written story that sucked me in from the very beginning and kept me turning the pages until the book was done. Author Jo Barney has done a fantastic job of creating characters, especially Edith, who readers will connect with, care about, and continue to think of long after the book is finished. If that isn't the mark of a wonderful author, I'm not sure what is. Any reader who loves fiction with a strong female lead, or just a great book in general, would enjoy Never Too Late. I am so pleased to recommend this book, and certainly hope that author Jo Barney is hard at work on her next novel. I, for one, will be in line to get it when it is done!
