The Love Story of Missy Carmichael was such an endearing and heartfelt story that I’m thinking of bumping it up. This was such a wonderful debut, and I loved the character development that Beth Morrey creates in Missy Carmichael.
While I didn’t find Missy to be of the same vein as Eleanor Oliphant that she is compared to, my heart went out to her because she is sad and lonely missing the great love of her life. Not only is her husband gone but her son has also moved away to Australia, and her relationship with her daughter is strained.
This is a delightful book, the demographics will mostly appeal to older readers, parents who have survived teenagers and young adults holding breath for the moment when they leave home! Ahh! the tranquility.I do strongly feel that there are many, many older women in their late seventies that has lost a husband and becomes reluctant to venture out to meet other people, This is why I loved reading this amazing story about seventy-nine year- old Missy.
This book brought all the emotions, and I highly recommend it!
