Home Repair by Liz Rosenberg is a beautifully written and engaging novel that I couldn’t put down.

Eve, the main character, lost her first husband in a car crash thirteen years ago. Chuck, her second, and much younger husband, has just walked out on her and the kids during the middle of a garage sale never to return. Eve is left to pick up the pieces.

Rosenberg has created a character in Eve that is so real, sad, flawed, vulnerable, yet ultimately resiliant and capable. The story was moving and believable and the writing flowed in a way which reminded me that Rosenberg is a poet as well as a novelist. I loved this book.
