I can walk through a house once and know more about its occupants than psychiatrist could after a year of sessions. I remember joking about this one evening with Peter Newbold, the shrink who rents the office upstairs from mine.

The Good House by Ann LearyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an absorbing story of salvaging the broken in its many forms, a horse, a house, a boat, a person. Enthralling subplots mesh together in this story of purpose and value and humanity as a realtor conducts her business in a small town on the Massachusetts coast. Her retinue of clients, family, and long-time friends populate a story about facing harsh realities, then learning to cope and move on. It is a quiet celebration of humanity that leaves the reader with a hopeful spirit.
This is an engrossing story, well-crafted, and absolutely engaging.

I loved this book, too, Pooch...I love anything that builds a story around houses or homes. They are so symbolic of what is important in our lives.
