A two pronged tale of love and loss. Penny and Ada are heroines struggling with the circumstances of their lives. And-by chance, they both live in the same houseboat on Lake Union. At different times. It is fascinating to see the details of their love and heartbreak revealed over the majority of the book. I would have been satisfied with the ending, but the epilogue was just the perfect way to wrap it up.
