The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D.

Nichole Bernier

4.9/5 (19760 ratings)

Description:Before there were blogs, there were journals. And in them we’d write as we really were, not as we wanted to appear. But there comes a day when journals outlive us. And with them, our secrets. Summer vacation on Great Rock Island was supposed to be a restorative time for Kate, who’d lost her close friend Elizabeth in a sudden accident. But when she inherits a trunk of Elizabeth's journals, they reveal a woman far different than the cheerful wife and mother Kate thought she knew. The complicated portrait of Elizabeth makes Kate question not just their friendship, but her own deepest beliefs about loyalty and honesty at a period of uncertainty in her own marriage — as well as her own choices as a wife, mother, and professional, and the legacy she herself would want to leave behind. When an unfamiliar man’s name appears in the pages, Kate realizes the extent of what she didn’t know about her friend, including where she was really going on the day she died. * Finalist for the New England Booksellers Fiction Award 2012 * Seven weeks on the Boston Globe Bestseller List “Why do we keep secrets from those we love most? Bernier’s excellent storytelling skills will keep you pondering long after the final page." — THE WASHINGTON POST “Bernier shares Elizabeth’s story both through her journal entries and through descriptions of key events in her life, literally bringing the character to life and giving the reader a full sense of her as a person…[Kate] embodies that unique 21st-century feeling of working against some imaginary clock whose time is set to expire, unannounced, at any moment. ” —THE BOSTON GLOBE“A certain innocence of suburban privilege is shattered in Nichole Bernier’s 2002-set The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. (Crown), in which a young mother becomes the reluctant interpreter of her friend’s life following a plane crash, calling into question the truths we tell ourselves.”—VOGUE“Bernier masterfully eases open the doors that guard our deepest fears and sweeps in fresh air and hope." —PARADE New in paperback with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide, interview, and added content.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
