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 with whom she reconnects, a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world, and a handsome widower 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, and art. Above all, The Year of Pleasures is about the various kindnesses people can provide one another. Betta's journey from grief to joy is a meaningful reminder of what is available to us all, regardless of what fate has in store. This exquisite book suggests that no matter what we lose, life is ready to give bountifully to those who will receive.

Beautiful book

Happily, I finally realized one of her titles was narrated by someone else, and Sandra Burr does an excellent job of telling this lovely, thoughtful story.
Please, Ms. Berg: stick to writing and let professionals who narrate for a living, bring your stories to life.

I wasn't really planning to read this book, but I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the way Betta tentatively made new friends and opened her heart and life to new and old friends.If you’ve listened to books by Elizabeth Berg before, how does this one compare?
I have not listened to other books by her.Do you think The Year of Pleasures needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I think it would be interesting to read about the store and have the customers take up part of the story.Book Review: The Year of Pleasures
