I have read this authors books many many times. And each time I say, what a man! He writes with such emotional depth with such insight to women that I have to applaud him.
It’s so well done.

Who hasn’t been in a humdrum life, doing the same things over and over?
Work, family life, partner duties, and everything else that goes along with it.

When the grown kids leave home, just what was the state of their marriage?

Attending a conference she gets to meet Richard and her life for five days spirals in a totally different direction.

A very easy relaxed read that won’t take much time at all to read but full of thought provoking material. (

This is my first Douglas Kennedy read and I enjoyed it. I thought the author did a great job of writing this story from a female point of view.

Laura's married to Dan and they've got a son in college and a daughter about to leave home. She's very passionate about her job as a radiographic technician. A weekend conference in Boston changes everything when she meets Richard. The FIVE DAYS tells us Laura's story over five days.

Although this story didn't grip me from start to finish I did enjoy it and I'll definitely be reading more from Douglas Kennedy in the future.
