The Widower's Tale by Julia Glass Book Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the National Book Award–winning author of Three Junes: Seventy-year-old Percy Darling is settling happily into retirement—reading novels, watching old movies, and swimming naked in his pond. But his routines are disrupted when he is persuaded to let a locally beloved preschool take over his barn.

As Percy sees his rural refuge overrun by children, parents, and teachers, he must reexamine the solitary life he has made in the three decades since the sudden death of his wife. With equal parts affection and humor, Julia Glass spins a captivating tale about a man who can no longer remain aloof from his community, his two grown daughters, or—to his great shock—the precarious joy of falling in love.

Sublime and Satisfying. While 3 Junes cut closer to the bone, this novel perfectly evokes the grittiness of ordinary family life. Unexpected plot twists that I couldn't believe I failed to see coming, made this an inviting read.

Artfully written; a bit slow paced. Julia Glass artfully wrote a story that portrays the complexity of family relationships. The writing was excellent. I would have preferred a little faster pace as some of the character histories seemed unnecessarily detailed. A lot of time was spent on the immigrant, Celestino, an intelligent and talented man with unrealized potential who let love pass him by because of fear. I didn’t think his situation at the end was credible. Still, Ms. Glass did pull everything together for a satisfying if not totally believable ending. Not 5 stars because I thought that the book could have used a bit more dramatic tension throughout, and a faster pace.

Wonderful Read. This book was a gem, wonderful writing, interesting characters and witty humor. I loved how she wove the stories of each character together, insightfully and simply, and her writing is never dramatic or overdone. I am so glad I found this author, and am looking forward to her other books.
