I’ve been talking about this book for so long that there shouldn’t be a lot left to say. But, hey, this is me. I can always find another word or two. Sundays with Oliver felt (feels) very much like the next logical step in my journey as a writer. Once again, I drew on my own life as a jump-off point as my daughter packed up her life and went away to college. I then went on to explore other aspects of mid-life:
- Becoming an empty nester
- Having adult children (!!)
- Taking a moment (or twenty) to look back at everything you’ve done and wonder: has it been enough?
- Learning to come to terms with loss
- How our relationships with our parents (or caregivers) change as we grow older
- Starting a relationship with someone else who’s basically having the same existential crisis you are, so, basically —
- Being brave enough to take a chance on love
These characters are a little older and a little more bruised and I think that makes their happy ever after all the more sweet.
