Good Harbor - Anita Diamant

http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-0743225724-0 : Not as good as The Red Tent and nothing like it. About a woman diagnosed with breast cancer and coming to grips with the death of her infant son which happened 25 years ago. And another woman - trying to write a serious novel while dealing with her marital problems and soon to be teenage daughter. The two women become friends, have an affair, wonder if their son is gay, and contemplate their Judaism. A little too much going on, and while enjoyable, was in the genre of Anita Shreve, just not as well done. I recommend it for a lazy day on the beach, or a rainy day on the couch. Not for anything enlightening or particularly literary.
