Widow Waltz (Koslow)

Book Reviews
Witty and insightful.
People


Lovers of breezy beach read...will enjoy the journey.
Real Simple


Koslow (Little Pink Slips) illustrates how a family upheaval can prompt personal change in this entertaining but ultimately uninspired novel. Fifty-year-old Georgia Waltz’s husband Ben Silveer...dies during a marathon training run, [and] Georgia discovers that their life of luxury has been built on lies.... Koslow’s novel is diverting, and the three different viewpoints add interest, but Georgia’s romance is tepid and unconvincing, and the resolution is abrupt and overly tidy.
Publishers Weekly


Well-written, page-turning domestic fiction about a family’s reinvention and healing that will attract fans of Elizabeth Berg.
Library Journal


Former McCall's editor-in-chief Koslow (Slouching toward Adulthood, 2012, etc.) choreographs an entertaining but lightweight story.... Thanks to [husband] Ben's lucrative law practice, Georgia's lived a pampered life, and the couple has always indulged their two daughters.... But when mother and daughters find themselves virtually penniless...they come together, not always harmoniously, and do what they have to do to survive... [A]lthough there are a few missteps, particularly toward the end when the resolution seems hard to swallow, the perfectly frothy, romantic story will appeal to readers who want a few hours to engage in a different world.
