Rendition In Favor Of Books Good Harbor
Anita Diamant whose rich portrayal of the biblical world of women illuminated her acclaimed international bestseller The Red Tent, now crafts a moving novel of contemporary female friendship.Good Harbor is the long stretch of Cape Ann beach where two women friends walk and talk, sharing their personal histories and learning life's lessons from each other. Kathleen Levine, a longtime resident of Gloucester, Massachusetts, is maternal and steady, a devoted children's librarian, a convert to Judaism, and mother to two grown sons. When her serene life is thrown into turmoil by a diagnosis of breast cancer at fifty-nine, painful past secrets emerge and she desperately needs a friend. Forty-two-year-old Joyce Tabachnik is a sharp-witted freelance writer who is also at a fragile point in her life. She's come to Gloucester to follow her literary aspirations, but realizes that her husband and young daughter are becoming increasingly distant. Together, Kathleen and Joyce forge a once-in-a-lifetime bond and help each other to confront scars left by old emotional wounds.

A nice light read of two women who meet and share theirs lives and trails. About friendship can fill in the gaps. Author of the Red Tent. Book is Good Harbor by Anita DiamantThis book was recommended to me by a dear friend. My friend had read it after being told she had cancer. The story is profoundly touching. Very powerful narrative. I would recommend this book.
$1.99Long ago I read The Red Tent by the same author and loved it. I was expecting another fantastic story even though this one is completely different. Good Harbor is located in Cape Ann, Massachusetts and is the setting for a friendship that happened at "just the right time" for Kathleen Levine and Joyce Tabachnik who meet unexpectedly one day.Kathleen a 59-year-old children's librarian married to Buddy with two grown sons has just found out she has breast cancer. Joyce and her husband, Frank,
Good Harbor is at best a mediocre book. I was greatly disappointed, since I expected more from the author of one of my favorite novels, The Red Tent. Two women meet at this harbor on Cape Ann. Katherine is a children's librarian, married and the mother of grown sons, and recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Joyce is younger, the mother of a ten year old daughter, married, and a writer. She buys a bungalow near the harbor and proceeds to paint and fix it up while her husband remains behind
I enjoyed this novel but I think it has to be read at a particular place and time in someones life for it to work.
This is the 2nd Anita Diamant book that I have read and have enjoyed this book as well even though Red Tent is a stronger book. Good Harbor is completely different than the Red Tent, but Diamant proves herself a very good writer no matter what time era a story takes place. Good Harbor is a story of the importance of friendship and I think is perfect for the 40-60 year old woman and although I am not in that category, I still appreciate many aspects of this book. Kathleen is dealing with illness
