About this product
Product Information
In this rich and deeply satisfying novel by the beloved author of The Art of Mending , and Open House , a resilient woman embarks upon an unforgettable journey of adventure, self-discovery, and renewal. Betta Nolan moves to a small town after the death of her husband to try to begin anew. Pursuing a dream of a different kind of life, she is determined to find pleasure in her simply daily routines. Among those who help her in both expected and unexpected ways are the ten-year-old boy next door, three wild women friends from her college days, a twenty-year-old who is struggling to find his place in the world, and a handsome man who is ready for love. Elizabeth Berg's The Year of Pleasures is about acknowledging the solace found in ordinary things: a warm bath, good food, the beauty of nature, music, friends, and art. "Berg writes with humor and a big heart about resilience, loneliness, love, and hope. And the transcendence that redeems," said Andre Dubus about Durable Goods . And the same could be said about The Year of Pleasures .

Praise for Elizabeth Berg "The day you open this book you will miss all your appointments, because . . . you will read it straight through. . . . Berg's writing is to literature what Chopin's études are to music-measured, delicate, and impossible to walk away from until their completion." - Entertainment Weekly, about Range of Motion "Lyrical from start to finish . . . Shaped by Berg's artistic talents, these stories of ordinary people in ordinary situations are anything but ordinary." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram , about Ordinary Life "Truth rings forth clearly from every page. Berg captures the way women think-and especially the way they talk to other women-as well as any writer I can think of." - The Charlottesville Observer , about Talk Before Sleep "Berg's lovely novels examine how some families grasp blindly at the ties that hold them together and some pluck them apart. Mending is no exception." - Entertainment Weekly , about The Art of Mending "Elizabeth Berg is one of those rare souls who can play with truths as if swinging across the void from one trapeze to another." - Joan Gould , about Talk Before Sleep, Praise for Elizabeth Berg "The day you open this book you will miss all your appointments, because . . . you will read it straight through. . . .
