A year has passed since her husband Paul died from a heart attack, but forty-five year old Anna Sandoval still grieves her loss deeply. Anna needs a change and knows it, so she leaves their DC home for a summer in Crete. There she hopes to regain the passion for art that she sublimated as a celebrity wife in support of Paul's talk show career, and to raise their two now adult children.
On the isle, Anna lets go of her inhibitions, even sunbathing without a top. She also meets two men who seem to desire her. The widower Sam and the architect Alexis compete for her affection, which is a new feeling for Anna. However, Anna remains feeling lost and confused, except when she paints.
Anna is a fascinating lead character, as she struggles to regain her equilibrium after the sudden death of her spouse. She had been a celebrity wife and mother, but now she is a grieving widow, and so knows she must find the lost Anna, though she understands she will always love her Paul and their children, regardless of what she does. This middle aged woman seeking her groove is an interesting well written character study.
