This lovely story starts in 1897 when William Owens returns to Maryland after graduating from Oxford to find himself engaged to a woman he's never met. His overbearing mother has arranged it, and he doesn't have the courage to say no. However, he soon meets a blind, French writer, Theodore Renard, who changes Will's life in drastic ways. But with a pregnant and miserable wife and a job he hates, Will must stand up to his mother and be his true self in order to be happy.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and found it to flow very well with two very strong and empathetic main characters. I can't explain more about the story without giving away major plot points, but I'll just say that I really liked the writing and the characters of Theo and Will. 203 pages (Kindle edition).
