Review:
'Anne Rivers Siddons's body of work is one of the most impressive in contemporary fiction. And, in her beautifully crafted and dazzling new novel OFF SEASON, Ms. Siddons delivers the goods more powerfully than ever. All her books are terriffic, but this one is the best yet - Pat Conroy 'I've always enjoyed Anne Rivers Siddon's books, but this is her best, maybe the book she was born to write. It's a double love story, narrated by a woman who has loved both early and late. The story of Lilly and Jon is one of the best stories of adolescent love - its fierceness and sweetness - that I've ever read. There's also a beautifully drawn picture of Maine dressed in her summer finery...and a few ghosts. Summer is maybe the best time to read this book; if you've ever vacationed on the Maine coast (or ever wanted to), this book isn't just the next best thing, it's the real thing. Bravura storytelling' - Stephen King
