Jill and Carrie--both married with teenage children--meet one day during Jill's lunch break at a local park. Soon a friendship is forged. A friendship that deepens with each visit. Jill's husband still lives and breathes the coach's life, a life that leaves him little time to spare for Jill. Left on her own more and more, Jill finds herself searching for the indefinable something that has been missing all her life. Married to a successful businessman, Carrie Howell retired early from a career in real estate to spend more time with her teenage boys, and to pursue her lone passion--painting. She, too, has felt for some time that something is missing from her world. The Cottage is the non-traditional, heart-aching story of two women pulled by a force stronger than their marriages, stronger than themselves. The story of Jill and Carrie. Two women. One love.

It's the story of Jill and Carrie. They are both married to men, although not in the happiest of ways. Jill especially, even before she meets Carrie in the park during her lunch break, is having problems with her husband and daughter. Carrie's husband seems to just be absent. Then, Carrie and Jill meet at the park, and they become friends first, but, of course, then start becoming more as well. And, then, *sigh*, something horrible happens.
As I said above. I haven't read a story like this in a while (if ever), and so some of it was very jarring (cheating is not my favorite relationship trope to read, but Hill did a very good job with that part of the story I thought). Overall, though, I thought it was a good book with interesting characters who drove the novel (instead of just the plot driving the novel, since, heh, there wasn't much plot).
A good (not surprisingly so) Gerri Hill novel for sure. ( )
