Broken Man on a Halifax Pier by Lesley Choyce
4.0
Broken Man on a Halifax Pier is primarily a story of relationships - with family, friends, and everyone in between. Charles escaped the small town of his childhood to become a newspaper writer in the city, but has since lost his job and all of his savings. Then one day a woman comes out of the fog as he's standing on a pier, and the instant connection they feel to one another takes them both by surprise. Will their budding relationship be able to withstand all the baggage they carry?
I primarily picked up this book because I like the song from which it gets its name, and I was curious to see if the story actually had anything to do with that song. It's not my favorite genre, but it is a well written story with the heartwarming message that it is never to late to form new relationships or repair damaged ones. It is a good read for fans of books about families.
