Book Reviews of Heart of the Matter
Book Review: She does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't wait to get this book after having read KI Thompson's House of Clouds (which is stupendous by the way). I had loved the historical setting of HoC and was wondering how she would do with a story set in present days. I totally enjoyed reading this book! I started it and couldn't stop until I was done.
Ellen Webster, who is a history professor at Georgetown University, has a condo next door to formidable TV Newscaster Kate Foster. Ellen is a sweet soul, someone who everyone loves, who's self esteem about body image gets in the way of who she really is. Kate has everyone jumping, and for good reason, she's good at what she does and is responsible for a huge rise in the station's ratings.
So what happens when tables are turned and a high powered newscaster must face recouperating from an accident alone? Can someone who's self-sufficient and very proud accept help from Ellen, her next door neighbor? What about Ellen? She must leave on a sabbatical to tour Civil War sites for a book that she must write. [and here the author shines even brighter with her knowledge of the civil war bringing battlefields to life].
Buy this book, enjoy this book and then read it again in a few months. You know you want to! Right? It's a great read.
Summary of Heart of the Matter
Ellen Webster, professor of history, can't help but fantasize about her next door neighbor Kate Foster- after all, she sees her on the evening news every night.Sexy and smart, Kate is Ellen's dream girl, but the dynamic TV newscaster doesn't know she exists. Struggling with a steadily worsening self-image and at a loss as to how to turn her life around, Ellen decides to take time out to finish the book she has always wanted to write. But a rainy night and near-tragedy changes everything when Kate is involved in an automobile accident and turns to Ellen for help. Withdrawing from the world, Kate comes to depend upon Ellen for far more than she realizes-until the day Ellen tells her that she is leaving on sabbatical.
Ellen and Kate's journey takes them beyond the transitory nature of external beauty and into the heart of what is meaningful in a relationship, the inner beauty of each other.
