Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Bradford's tale of the May-September affair of a young married man and a middle-aged divorcee was a five-week PW bestseller.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


From AudioFile

Talented electrical engineer Jake Cantrell meets Maggie Sorrell, an attractive interior designer, while working on sets for an amateur theatrical group. Both have moved to Connecticut to start life anew after failed marriages. In spite of obstacles, including their age difference--Maggie is 44 and Jake will turn 29--they fall hard for each other. Narrator Lisa Banes captures the romance, drama and moody spells in whispery and warm tones. Using light and subtle changes in pitch, she effectively differentiates the characters and genders, making the plot easy to follow. Bradford's poignant and inspiring story of faith and love is well matched by Banes's clear and natural articulation. R.E.K./P.S.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Makes Danielle Steele look like Shakespeare, Jan 23 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Love in Another Town (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was really lame. It is riddled with cliches and it is shorter then a young adult novel. Total waste of time. The Lifetime movie was much better, so you know how bad this really was.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Short Story, Aug 18 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Love in Another Town (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book because it is a wonderful short story by an author always known for extensive (400+ page) novels. The story is captivating and leaves the reader wanting more! Too bad this was only a short story. It was also a wonderful TV movie!

1.0 out of 5 stars They deserve each-other!, Jan 5 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Love in Another Town (Mass Market Paperback)
The book is very over-simplified and the main hero of the story is a jerk!

He has left his wife, who still loves him, basically so he could seek greener pastures. When she becomes seriously ill, he just sort of pats her arm and looks forward to when she will die and not be a burden on his health insurance any more. His new object of desire is not much better - she spits venom at her college-age children for staying with their father in the town where they had grown up. It is way too convenient for the author that the wife dies and clears the way for our hero and heroine to get married, so they don't have to face up to how he ruined his first wife's life.

Add to that a few totally unlikely scenes, like the woman's ex-husband groveling at her to take him back after a few years (that never happens) and the stupid near-death experience, and you have a pretty silly piece of work.
