The Good Woman by Jane Porter
4.0
3.5 Stars
This story was written with a lot of insight from all of the characters. It introduces readers to the Brennan sisters & takes place in the San Francisco/Sonoma Valley area. The Good Woman focuses on Mary Margaret, the oldest of five. Meg is from a strong, close Irish Catholic family. She's busily raising her family, working, being an attentive daughter & wise big sister--being "good" all the time. We can all imagine that a person can only do that for so long before they wonder, what about me? Meg starts to think, maybe i do deserve more, to be happy.
When Meg does something completely out of character, there are consequences she does not anticipate. Even though Meg makes a poor choice, you can't help but feel for her as she tries to repair the damage that has been done. While I was sympathetic to Meg'a situation, Jane Porter did a great job of making me understand the perspective of Meg's family members & their reactions.
I look forward to keeping track of Meg & learning even more about the other Brennan sisters in Jane's upcoming books.
Highly recommend this one--just grab your Kleenex & some good California wine for the read!
