Two star-crossed people with biological clocks running—one a young widow and the other a farmer who’s recently lost his mother—meet as they tend the graves of their loved ones. While Benny and Desiree [Shrimp] find their relationship satisfying on a physical level, only time will tell if this very different couple will find common ground. This is a touching, funny book. You’ll have so much sympathy for these lonely people and hope things work out. [Mazetti says she’s written a sequel. Even she wanted to know. Hope the success of this book leads the sequel into English translation, too.]
